For my visual representation post, I found two video games that show what it’s like to experience being in a refugee or asylum seeker’s shoes.
The first is Against All Odds which allows the user to start their experience as a refugee/ asylum seeker that is escaping their country. As you move throughout the game you have to make tough choices about abandoning friends or family, where to stay, who to trust, etc.
The second game is The Waiting Game. This game allows you to pick your narrative. There are a few stories to choose from including escaping an abusive gang member marriage, being student protestors, facing religious prosecution, and experiencing racial discrimination. All of these experiences are based on people’s real-life stories and you get to witness what they went through first hand.
