I'm confused. Are they saying that you should only go on holiday to countries that don't violate human rights? If so then nobody is going anywhere. Homophobia, Sexism, Racism and even prejudice over social status is rife no matter where you go. I understand what they are trying to do as some countries are far worse than others but it's a sad truth that these countries have some of the most beautiful and awe inspiring scenery and ruins the world has to offer. Not an easy choice I admit but another sad truth is that me not going somewhere on holiday is not going to change anything and there will always be the idiots that agree with the bigotrys of these countries and support them no matter what.

While I love the style and the unique parallel narrative, I wish there had been a game here. It felt a bit like an interactive public service announcement. The fact that the player moves to the right and hits space when prompted is not really up to acceptable "game" standards. However, the value and non-partisan nature of the message and the fact that it wasn't overly preachy, combined with excellent production values, makes it acceptable.

I notice a comment says this is a site for games not propoganda, in response I'd like to say that an organization making public awareness is allowed to use any media at it's disposal.

Honestly, I usually enjoy games of this sort, part of a campaign, but I must be honest and admit this game was too exaggerated for my taste.
To my view, it has been wrongly compared to L.O.V.E. and The Company of Myself since they don't treat such themes. Yes, all of them have a message, but it is of a different nature.

1/5 This isn't what people come to this site to play. I don't even know if play is the right word, cause it's more of a cutscene.

nicely made, suits message. its not really a game, more of an interactive animation thing, but still a few minutes well spent.

Not very realistic. You mean, your tourism will support your being extensively searched at gunpoint for drogas wherever you go that speaks spanish? Grow a set. Airport searches aren't the initiation of the problem, and the support of it isn't something that widely encouraged. This entire game was a shock, because I'm someone who goes places foreign, and this game isn't realistic in the slightest. Sorry, but your 'foreign country scenario' isn't widespread.

4/5. It was a unique idea, and I laughed at the cruelty of some parts of it (particularly the golf part) because I'm a cold hearted cynical bastard. I think it was well made, but I knocked a single point off just because I'm not a big fan artsy, "it has a MEASSGE!" crap in my games.

the change begins within everyone of us every day...... Change the world make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race ;)..... . 3/5 it`s not really a game but it has a good message: there are people who have bad lives just because of origin or/and wealth.... probably true!

'Tourism can help fund regimes that violate human rights" ethnocentric, self-righteous crap, btw the game is not clever or as one person put it "simply brilliant!" honestly people it sucked, quit being sanctimonious and in return I will stop visiting Somalia and adding to the genital mutilation fund

1/5 . . . not only very short sighted, but bringing countries in the game w/o any kind of problems! A lot of small people live of tourism and as it was in the "democratic" world . . . only wealth coming to the masses brings slow change!

American Bullshit!. Do not go to the USA then... What about goverments that send troops to kill inocent people in foreign countries?

Nicely done, not so much a game as an interactive story, but a brilliant way to send a message not many people hear about.

Very nice. This is an issue I'm not hugely aware of that often slips out of my consciousness. Thanks for reminding me that this is a pretty big issue.
