Fiction, Fact, and Social Impact: Authentic Storytelling and Narrative Change through Take Us North

In a world flooded with misinformation, how can we harness the power of video games to drive meaningful social and narrative change? Join Creative Director Karla Reyes as she dives into the making of Take Us North, a narrative-driven game that immerses players in the journeys of migrants and asylum seekers crossing the US-Mexico border. Take a look behind the scenes of a project built on extensive documentary-style research to create a sensitive and authentic experience. Reyes will explore the delicate process of translating complex, real-world issues into an interactive narrative and how the team is connecting audiences with the real people behind the stories to foster greater empathy and awareness around this subject.
