Description: Being a refugee sucks, the game

This is a game focused on a very particular sort of refugee experience. It starts off with a group of four friends co-opting an abandoned war bunker for their club house, and as the days go by event after event causes them to engage with racism in a multitude of forms, from the locals, from their own people, from themselves and each other, etc... but mostly from the locals.

While the writing is generally okay and the game does face down some heavy stuff regarding displaced communities, it felt like the mechanics were getting in the way of the story it was trying to tell and it trips over its feet a little by overcomplicating things. But this may also be because crafting is possibly my least favorite RPG mechanic of all time and this game is all about it. So maybe if someone really enjoys crafting they will like the way this game seems to manage progression.
