A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

This is a free art project, a walking exploration game with themes of unfreeness and human rights, and an electronic music soundtrack.

I seek artistic ways to recognize and memorialize the struggles of unfree people.  here the physical infrastructure for mass murder and forced labour can fill the eyes' view - yet it is not the concrete or metal's fault, nor the land's.  this landscape is mostly picked clean, eroded and at peace after generational atrocities did not take place here.  it is created for peace and humaneness

Play begins in one of three locations at random, in a fully interconnected larger realm.  The player walks, slips, stumbles and scrambles by way of exploring until they 'die'.  Then a song plays and a caption shows that highlights some aspect of unfreedom and our need to cultivate humaneness in ourselves and one another.  Afterward the game closes.  The game is not graphic or particularly scary, but this realm will eject you!  It is anticipated to visit several times to have any chance of seeing everything.

Contrary to automata of the past this experience is free to everyone, powerful or lowly; and is the product of solely my own ethical "labour"; and that is the intent.

Fair warning that one ending text discusses TW: suicide.

I hope you are well

 - dUE tO the unity company's abusive behaviour I have made the difficult decision to discontinue work on this project.  Please consider it finished.  and pLEASE bE aSSURED eVERYONE wILL bE tAKEN cARE oF aT mY eND. tHIS gAME wAS lAST compiled iN 2023, and is feature complete and fully playable.

 - Please do not change or delete any of the contents of the game folder, as Unity intensely dislikes that.

 - Because I am smol, Windows sees me as Unrecognized Developer, so one running the Windows build may encounter a blue pop-up with a button saying 'Don't Run'.  If you click 'More Information' above that, an option will show to 'Run Anyway'.

 - Top gameplay hint: hold down the 'C' key for a list of controls!
