About the Game

Grove of the Felled Olives is a virtual memorial dedicated to the humans killed in Gaza between Oct '23 and July '25.

This is the desktop version of the memorial.
It is presented here as an offline experience for greater accessibility and fidelity.

No such physical memorial recognizing each individual exists as of yet. Pay respects to each of the over 60,000 departed in a peaceful refuge for their memory. Come back at any point to pick up where you left off - every session in the grove begins at a new location. The grove includes a single memorial for the countless lives that remain unaccounted for.

I made this memorial to humanize the statistics and provide an accessible experience for people across the world to honor those lost. I hope this can be a respectful place for loved ones and strangers alike to reflect on our shared humanity. May we learn one day to be better.

  • With atmospheric original music by Test Collage

Due to the limitations of ensuring the in-browser version of the memorial continues to smoothly on most mobile devices, this offline desktop version contains more up to date data.

Data from Gaza's Ministry of Health provided by Tech for Palestine.
