A colleague in crisis asks you to continue an investigation he started which quickly unfolds into systemic human rights violations with links to your country’s top leadership. Gather, verify, and corroborate the evidence to document the human rights violations and hold the perpetrators accountable. Meanwhile, stay safe, the web of corruption is wide!   

This narrative adventure game introduces the basics of human rights monitoring and security concepts as the player uncovers mounting evidence of large scale human rights violations. It is designed to be immersive and realistic while providing a safe space to fail for inexperienced human rights defenders.  

Set in a fictional country ahead of a global sports event, the government fails to protect laborers who have been compelled to work in untenable conditions by the company constructing stadiums. Players must find witnesses and victims, interview them and systematically document the abuses without putting themselves or their collaborators at risk. They must choose carefully the right thing to say, record, and report as well as how to communicate securely. Just as in real life human rights work, each choice has potentially dire consequences and you don’t know who to trust.
