Global Conflicts: Palestine
_Global Conflicts: Palestine_ is a serious game about the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, where you play the role of a reporter researching stories in and
around Jerusalem.
The game has six different chapters, each representing one news story, and for
each story you decide whether to write for an Israeli, a Palestinian, or a
European newspaper. This choice, along with the many dialog choices you make
during the game, influences your status with the different sides in the
conflict, which again determines what sources, angles and information become
available to you.
The game is set in 3D, where you navigate the city and surrounding areas to
meet and interview sources. Using wit, reason and diplomacy to build trust in
the journalistic interviews, your goal is to gather enough interesting
statements for a front-page article. At the end of each chapter, the player
assembles a story from the collected statements, and its newsworthiness and
bias is calculated.
The educational goal of the game is to educate players ages 13-19 about
aspects of the conflict.
