About Perspectives: Aleppo-Helsinki

What would it feel like if Helsinki was the city of Aleppo and you were there? What kind of possibilities does virtual reality offer to journalism?

Aleppo-Helsinki was a pilot project developed together with Yle (Finnish Broadcasting Company) around the possibilities that room scale virtual reality offers for journalism, storytelling and personal experience in the beginning of 2017. In the virtual experience the audience is taken first to a familiar scenery in a normal day Helsinki. After a while the Helsinki scenery changes, now resembling more like the news images of a bombed down and deserted city of Aleppo in Syria.

Aleppo-Helsinki is the first experience in our Perspectives series of immersive journalism experiences.

NOTE: This is not a game. This is a narrative VR experience.

An amazing and very emotional experience. I have no words for seeing my home town in ruins. The imagery is familiar from newscasts from war scenes, but now it just hits near home. The experience is short, but I imagine it is meant to be shown in public places for a lot of people. This is a powerful way to make people feel connected to people living in a war zone. I'm happy to see this kind of content in Steam. The image is more than a 360 photo, it's 3D, although you cannot move much. The enviroment could be richer. I kept looking for airplanes when I heard the sound.

A short and well made experience. Helps you to relate to people living in war time. Download especially if you're a Fin. It's free.

Игра 'Perspectives: Aleppo-Helsinki' - это мощный и эмоционально насыщенный опыт, позволяющий взглянуть на жизнь перемещенных лиц глазами двух разных людей. Она рассказывает историю сирийской женщины, бежавшей от войны, и финского социального работника, пытающегося ей помочь. Геймплей представляет собой интерактивную новеллу, где каждое ваше решение влияет на исход событий и определяет развитие отношений между персонажами. Сильные стороны игры - это реалистичное изображение травмы, культурных различий и сложностей, связанных с интеграцией в новую страну. Несмотря на то, что игра короткая, она заставляет задуматься о глобальных проблемах и личном вкладе каждого в их решение. Чувствуется глубокое исследование темы и уважение к реальным историям беженцев. Возможно, кому-то покажется, что игра местами упрощена или излишне сентиментальна, но она все равно остается ценным и важным опытом, расширяющим горизонты и воспитывающим эмпатию. Рекомендую всем, кто интересуется современным миром и хочет лучше понимать чужой опыт.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
