The Rise-Home Stories Project has created something often impossible in the gaming industry: a fully-fleshed out narrative video game created by people of color and for people of color.
The game was released in October and is available for free on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, itch.io, and Steam. It's one of five projects specifically designed to work at the intersection of race, housing, and land justice. Dot’s Home was several years in the making and offered community organizers and gaming creatives the opportunity to work together, create something meaningful, and build life-changing relationships in the process.
