The Fallen
«The Fallen» deals with the Ukraine war foregrounding the untold stories of the conflict's victims, contrary to what might be expected from the game's first-person shooter setup. Although the project was realized in 2017 by the artist group gold extra, the game has sadly lost none of its relevance. Set in the ghostly ruins of a destroyed airport in Ukraine's disputed Eastern regions, «The Fallen» forces the players into a confusing skirmish without heroes. It tells the stories of ordinary people who ended up on this battlefield for different reasons. Still, all met the same fate in a senseless civil war tainted by nationalism and propaganda. «The Fallen» confronts the players intriguingly and powerfully with ethical challenges.
