To Be You

I was one of the writers of To Be You, an interactive fiction game about identity and empathy in Singapore. It was developed by Better.sg, a tech-for-good organisation.

As a part of the production process, I attended focus group discussions with various stakeholders, including interfaith organisations and video game streamers. I did the narrative design for my assigned character and wrote the text directly in ink, which I taught myself during the project.

To Be You is now used to facilitate dialogues on race, religion, and identity in schools and organisations. It also won the 2020 MCCY Mission:Unite Hackathon, and was a SEA Game Awards 2022 finalist.
