Commissioned by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Myanmar to promote liberal values among university students.
Players free enslaved people by exercising throughout 20 levels their freedoms: freedom of thought and expression, freedom of movement, freedom of association, freedom of exchange, and the ability to solve problems together.
Game levels are puzzle-alike, require strategic thinking and increase progressively difficulty.
Players are not forced to interact with any political content about liberalism within the game. However, interacting with liberal texts provides extra benefits: power-up’s, replays, interaction time extensions and retries (simulated free-to-play mechanism).
