+In one or two sentences, describe the main themes present in your game.
The main themes of our game are activism, being outspoken, and pushing boundaries with art.
+What was the inspiration of the game?
What made your team decide to make this game specifically?
We wanted to make a work that experimented with the bridge between documentary, and games while exploring a subject who we feel has had meaningful impact on the world.
+Were there difficult moments when developing the game? What led to those difficult moments? What did you learn from it?
It was difficult to define what we were doing! None of us had ever made an interactive work of nonfiction before, and some of us hadn't even worked on an interactive work before! So we all learned a lot, and we learned to keep pushing forward and accepting the growing pains of working with a new form for the first time.
