During a rescue operation, the protagonist is struck by an explosion and briefly loses consciousness. Due to disorientation, he mistakenly believes he is still engaged in
the rescue mission, leading to a series of unfolding events.
They Are Watching is a hybrid physical-digital interactive game centered on the issue of battery-caged egg-laying hens. Combining physical cards, digital endings, and exhibition-based interaction, the project transforms the often-invisible structural oppression within animal welfare issues into game rules that players can directly experience. Rather than positioning players as passive observers, the game places them within a system of choices, limitations, and information gaps. Through this process, players gradually experience the characters’ loss of agency and are invited to reconsider the relationship between humans, farmed animals, and social systems.
