That Day We Left-A game about Syrian refugee crisis hits Kickstarter
That Day We Left is a game inspired by the recent Syrian crisis, aiming to portray the terrible journey of immigrants and refugees.
That Day We Left is a 3D adventure game that focuses on meaningful choices and immersive narrative. The game aims to provide a realistic picture of the political and humanitarian issue that is the refugee crisis – from a refugee’s point of view.
Combined with resource management akin to survival games, That Day We Left offers a healthy balance of gameplay and storytelling. We’re on Kickstarter because we need your help to create a better game and fully flesh out its concept.
To assure the greatest degree of realism, we base the events that happen in the game on actual situations found in stories reported by refugees. Due to the nature of the topic, we want to present the human aspect of the crisis and depict characters that are fleshed out and believable.

From the campaign:
Please note that due to the project’s themes and nature we decided to devote part of our profits from That Day We Left to charity. Our project is indepedent and we have funded its development ourselves until now, but we feel that donating a part of our profits is the right thing to do. We’re currently in contact with several non-profit organizations and searching for the best option.
