For Mahsa. For every woman who was never allowed to speak.
"I Don't Want To Be A Good Woman" is an interactive documentary and walking simulator that brings you face-to-face with the realities of women living in Iran under systemic oppression. Conceived as a digital, open-air museum, this experience invites you to walk through memories, testimonies, and stark realities. Live through stories that we have heard, gathered, or lived ourselves as anonymous developers.
This is not just a game; it is a dedicated space to witness, to remember, and to stand in solidarity with an ongoing struggle for basic human rights.
Key Features:
An Interactive Museum of Resilience: Explore minimalist, atmospheric environments filled with real-world context, dark facts, and hidden stories.
Experience the Reality: Gain a harrowing but necessary perspective on the daily realities of growing up under strict religious laws and the systemic discrimination faced by women.
The "Right" Path: Navigate the oppressive expectations and forced paths placed upon women, and learn what it means to resist.
Amplify Silenced Voices: By playing, witnessing, and sharing these gathered experiences, you help ensure these acts of defiance and the fight for freedom are not forgotten.
