About the Game

WE BECOME WHAT WE BEHOLD
"" game about news cycles, vicious cycles, infinite cycles"

We Become What We Behold is a 5 minute game that looks at how social media magnifies small differences into gross monstrosities. It is a non-partisan game about politics, examining the horror of the viral nature of divisiveness and tribalism.

The player captures “news,” controlling what the circles and squares see on a screen and having sway over how they think and act.

warning: the following program contains scenes of snobbery, rudeness & mass murder. Viewer discretion is advised.

This games was created and originally published by Nicky Case (this is not an official port from him). You can find the original web version at this link:
