"Asylum"

To help raise public awareness of the plight of refugees to Europe, the young journalists of Faktum (Truth), a TV program by Sweden’s SVT, have created a web-based computer game called “Asylum”. By assuming the role of an unfortunate asylum seeker, the player observes the unnerving stages such persons have gone through, and the courageous decisions they had to make, just to reach the point of applying for asylum in a country like Sweden.

The players can play either of two characters. One, a man from Liberia, the other a woman named Parvin from Iran.
