Palestinian Game Near Funding Goal: Sharing the Nakba Story
A video game detailing the Nakba, the 1948 displacement of Palestinians, is nearing its crowdfunding goal. Dreams on a Pillow, a stealth adventure game, follows Omm, a mother escaping to Lebanon.
A Decade in the Making
Developed by Rasheed Abueideh, the game has already raised a significant portion of its funding goal with over three weeks remaining on its campaign. Abueideh, whose previous game Liyla & The Shadows of War faced challenges due to its political nature, sees Dreams on a Pillow as proof that games can tell diverse stories.
Gameplay and Story
The game portrays the historical events and personal narratives of the Nakba through Omm’s journey. Players will experience the challenges she faces while escaping towards Lebanon.
Support the Project
You can support the game’s development via its crowdfunding page. Pledges vary in amount.
About the Developer
Abueideh’s prior work, Liyla & The Shadows of War, faced significant hurdles, including being deemed “too political” by Apple. His perseverance led to the game’s global success, paving the way for Dreams on a Pillow.
