Being
A downloadable game
- "An air of mystery ... remarkable." -- Al-Modon (Arabic)
Being is an abstract adventure game that explores, from a future lens, the past and present of the Palestinian lived experience. The player controls an avatar from the distant future of Palestine on a mission to recover artifacts, memories, and messages from a mysterious house near an old border. The game's aspiration is to convey various aspects of living as a Palestinian during the past century, ranging from perpetual grief to enduring hope.
Being was part of a series of art pieces commissioned by Art Palestine International. It was part o itch.io's Indie Bundle For Palestinian Aid (https://itch.io/b/902/indie-bundle-for-palestinian-aid) and featured in PC Gamer's coverage of the bundle.

I can't access a download for this game even though I bought the Indie Bundle For Palestinian Aid a while back. Additionally, I've tried looking through the game list for said bundle, but it doesn't list this game.
Hi there! The game has switched pages since the Bundle For Palestinian Aid was released, so that's most likely why. Please email hidden.prism.software@gmail.com and we'll send you a copy. Thanks!
