amira's blessing

experience summary

Amira's Blessing is a single-player, 2.5D narrative game that is fundamentally about family, choices, and responsibility. Play as Micah, a twelve-year-old boy living in the desert with his nomadic people, twenty years after Moses led the Hebrews across the Red Sea (per the biblical story of Exodus).

Explore a gorgeous, rich representation of an ancient sacred land; interact with other characters such as Talia (Micah's best friend), Batya (his grandmother), and Asher (a father figure to Micah).

This game asks us to reflect upon the following: How do the choices we make affect our lives? The lives of our families? The world?
