Created by Matthieu Cherubini, ‘36,000 Feet’ is a game where you are playing as a flight passenger coming back from their holidays. You are currently flying over Afghanistan. Watch blockbusters such as American Sniper on your in-flight entertainment device or speak with other Western passengers to hear their opinions about terrorism and the end of France; whether Obama is Osama and how the West is currently living under a terrible dictatorship.
I am concerned with the indifference we have here in the West. We proclaim that justice is important to us and tweet for a better world, but at the same time we are in a plane 10 kilometres above a war zone, biting into our sandwich and looking forward to our holidays on the other side of the world. I don’t want to criticise with these projects, I’m also an avid video gamer myself, but we shouldn’t take our eyes off what’s really happening in the world.
