Our Own Storm is a reflective narrative war game about compassion. It's easy to forget that NPCs are representations of people. By placing the player in their enemies' shoes, Our Own Storm challenges us to see our digital opponents as more than just bullet sponges.
Every time the player is killed, control switches to the killer. This system allows players to experience stories, cross battle lines as they switch characters in a besieged fictional island city, and break down the binary of "us" vs "them."
Official Dare to Be Digital 2016 select game.
"[Our Own Storm] humanize[s] each character in war, giving you multiple perspectives and seeing how each person deals with the consequences of their actions." -"Through switching back and forth, it hopes to show players that both sides have their own desires and lives." -siliconera
