Time for a good portion of story-rich interactive fiction – We. The Refugees: Ticket to Europe is coming soon on GOG!

We. The Refugees: Ticket to Europe is a text-based RPG about a journalist looking for his big break by uncovering the plights of refugees traveling from Africa to Europe. Set in contemporary times and inspired by real-life events, the game offers 30 hours of content, thousands of dialogue options and multiple unique paths. It’ll capture you not only with gameplay though, but with dreamlike comic-book illustrations, as well!

Soon on GOG!

Crackou: Sarcasm isn't your strong suit. That happen with people that lack any kind of intelligence, so don't worry, it's perfectly normal in your case.
In this thread, you already get 2 names (Georges Soros and Barbara Lerner Spectre) that you should make research about and you will see something in common about them. It's always the same people (self proclaimed God's Chosen One, no less) who are pushing for open borders but strangely, it's never for their country.
Open borders for thee, but not for me ;)

"They have a history of enmity with!!" Do you really think Europeans are in good terms with the people that are massively getting in? Christians vs Muslims... Should be going pretty well no? I've heard multiculturalism work great, we can see that with the terrorists attacks that happen regularly in the name of the "Religion of Peace" (since you don't get it, yep, it's sarcasm).
The vast majority of europeans don't want open borders but guess what? No one asked our opinion. EU did it without the consent of it's people (EU founded by Kalergi, make research on him too to have some stranges "coincidence"). And dare say that and you are "the most evil racist person in the world" oh and also "antisemitic". Pretty sure that's what you are thinking right now, isn't it Mr.TotallyNotTheHypocrite?

Also, you don't have to wish luck to the developers, they don't need it. The game is financed by the European Union (Surprise!) so they don't have to sell their product ;)

TL;DR: This "game" is propaganda. Good job in not seeing the obvious Mr.Good Guy.

joppo: Pity that the only time you communicate well (the above post) is also when you're loading on the ad hominen and embarrassing yourself. You could do better if you didn't try to be sarcastic because you're the one that is not good at it. Here's something for you to research too: Poe's law. Unfortunately there are people who really hold opinions like those you sarcastically claimed and if you didn't give any hint no one on the internet is responsible for assuming you're being honest about it.

The fact that other people mentioned George Soros and Barbara What'shername didn't matter AT ALL, because those were other people and there was no reason to assume they had anything to do with you. That said, while I know about Soros I didn't know this Barbara woman and I will read about her indeed (I'd rather be informed), so thanks for that. Although you could have dropped the smarter-than-thou asshole-ish attitude in your second post it was at least informative.

The rest of what you said, I mostly agree with. A massive influx of muslims in christian territory is bound to be almost as bad as in Israeli land. I never said wide opening Europe was THE solution, I just said it was hypocritical to make an offer that pushes 100% of the problem to other people because, well, of course it is (when it is serious).

I also didn't know about the dev's financial support and it certainly supports what you said that this game is just propaganda. In that case I feel much less sympathy for them.
Hey joppo,

Since you were calling me an hypocrite, i've been on the defensive. Nothing personal, i'm just tired of listening to the same bullshit again and again. An eye for an eye, you know. Tho, the fact that you wish to discuss the matter and make research please me, so i ask you to kindly accept my excuse for the rudness.

As you understand now, my first post was indeed sarcasm and mockery. It's all we can do without being censored (so much for free speech and democracy) but since you are from Latin America, if your profile is right, i understand that you don't have the same perspective as an European like me.

You could have learned more informations from this "game developer" on the forum of another popular gaming platform but pretty much all the threads have been "moderated" (haha) for "Racism" and "Antisemitism"... At least they are open about the complete EU financial support (i'm glad that my tax money is supporting that garbage, feels great).

Have a nice day, sir.
Please don't derail this thread with discussions about politics.

Let's just discuss the game apolitically.
And the sequel: We, The Migrants: Dingy to UK...

No, the game is in inherently political, it's political propaganda for the open borders agenda.

Implied apology accepted, and I also ask that you forgive me for being rude. It appears we started on the left foot. I suppose we have similar views on the subject despite our very different place of birth.

I honestly empathize with you about the hate for your tax money being used to finance propaganda to support things you (and I'm sure the majority of your peers) disagree with. I won't open that can of worms but I can say it's not an alien concept to me.

This censorship matter in that other platform's forum... well I despise the action and excuses but I would not know it happened if you hadn't told me because, like I said, it's not my type of game. So I would have no reason to be hanging out in their threads.

Anyway, I'm tired of talking of this political stuff. Have a nice day yourself too.

Like Moroif said that's not possible, due not only to the theme of the game but also its propagandist goal that I previously did not know of.

It's like when that Covid outbreak game was released, you could ask us to discuss the game but not the distaste of gamifying a disease that was killing thousands daily or the very awkward situation of being accused of being nothing more than a hot-take cashgrab. It just couldn't be done.

I have some questions to Act Zero / Polyslash (dev/pub)
(All quotes taken from your vgame description)

1)(quoted) "To make this possible, the writers team visited the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesvos, where the prototype of the game was presented to refugees and volunteers. The script was also reviewed by experts from relevant NGOs."
-Could you share details about those please?
I'd like to know the NGOs names & their comments as the refugees/volunteers as well

2)(quoted) "5% of We. The Refugees: Ticket to Europe profits will be donated to charities helping refugees. The first 2.5% goes to the Hope Project - Greek volunteers who helped us meet refugees in person during research. The other half will go to other humanitarian organisation we will choose together with our community."
-How will that choose humanitarian organisation duty be conducted? Details please

3) Can you share your thoughts about the gamification/glorification/trivilization risks
of this kind of real life events may have
thanks to the product you decided to use (a video game)
to reflect your (quoted) "Authenticity and Factuality" work?

Thanks in advance!

Hey!
I see some nice questions, so here are an answers.

1. The names of non-governmental organizations and the names of consultants can be found in the end credits of the game. The most important of them are the Hope Project and the Ocalenie Foundation, because they were the most involved in the whole process. Of course, there were many more people, and a complete list would be really long. The same goes for the comments, we're talking about dozens of pages that are internal game development documents used to create the final version of the script.

2. We did not specify the exact rules or regulations, because this is not a contest. We asked our community to share their suggestions on who might receive this support. We review each application individually and the final result will be discussed with our community. We collected ideas mainly through our social media.

3. This is an important and complex issue. It will be commented on in the FAQ after the game is released. We want to answer this in depth and spend enough time to answer it, and unfortunately we don't have time right before the premiere
Got my copy.

Thanks for the heads up! Just to let you know, GOG has not yet published an official release announcement (news), there is as yet no front-page banner for your product, and there is still no launch discount.

Maybe they are working on to fix something on their end or maybe it will happen on an agreed-upon time (CET) of release. If that is the case, can you share the official release time for GOG?
