EL Triangulo : The Video Game
An interactive storytelling experience about the migrant crisis in the Northern Triangle
with Kelly Prudente, XD and Hunter Carr, AD
-SPEC WORK-
PROBLEM:
The Northern Triangle— the region made up of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras— has been rocked by civil wars and violence since the 1980s. It's a crisis that has forced tens of thousands of its citizens to leave their homes in search of a safer life.
While many seek refuge in the United States, most Americans are unaware of the situation's severity
SOLUTION:
Give people the opportunity to gain knowledge, build empathy, and humanize migrants seeking safety by building an experience that puts the player in the shoes of a migrant.
BACKGROUND:
All situations used in the experience are based on events that have been reported by migrants.
EXPERIENCE:
El Triangulo was made with the intent to be difficult. The experience is reflective of the nearly impossible journey that migrants embark on in hopes of a better life. At the end of each experience, people are lead to donate to WOLA, a research and aid organization advancing human rights in the Americas.
