Roots of Resilience 🕊🌿

Game Story

In this captivating and emotional RPG the player will start out in a seemingly peaceful town, surrounded by a strong community and family. The player will be able to explore the area, visiting the houses of friends.

However, as the player wakes up one day, everything has drastically changed. Barren land where the once-familiar olive trees once stood, demolished buildings, neighborhoods gone, and the player must navigate through this new landscape.

Throughout their exploration, the player starts to notice remnants of their friends' houses, triggering memories and emotions. These fragments of memorabilia serve as a poignant reminder of the loved ones they have lost.

This game invites players to reflect on themes of loss, resilience, and the enduring power of Palestinians. Also, the game includes pieces of translated notes originally shared by Palestinian Ahmad Alhams from Au Nuseirat camp on the 26th of October 2023.

We hope it offers a unique gaming experience and encourages people to continue fighting for Palestine's freedom.

Beautiful, beautiful game. I love what you two have done, the game left me with goosebumps, especially with the airstrike noises between the first and second scene. 

I'm working on an event that's showcasing games for Palestine at the American University of Beirut, would you be interested in showcasing this game there? If so, please let me know so I can send you a form to fill so we get all your details right. 
Thank you for making this.

Hi, thanks for checking out our game. 

This is our first game jam and we both kind of haven’t updated our public socials yet but you can follow our itch.io pages, hopefully we’ll get them updated with everything soon.

Great work, the only thing I would recommend is adding translations to other languages
