This game decomposes a seemingly perfect arcade game to demonstrate real-life border politics metaphorically. I was inspired by Michel Foucault's writings on biopolitics and Giorgio Agamben's book titled Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life.

Not only do I think the message and mechanics of this game resonate with important themes and issues that need thoughtful attention, I am also impressed with the tight narrative control and use of agency in those narrative moments. Thank you for making this wonderful game, Cenk!
