Political awareness through a video game? That seems to be part of the idea behind ICED!, a video game that allows player to roleplay and be put in the shoes of people who lose their student visas and others detained by the Department of Homeland Security.
“The game allows you to get into the body of a person, so you can experience what they are going through. There are very few opportunities to get that perspective,” said Mallika Dutt, head of the nonprofit Breakthrough, which produced the game and uses new media to highlight social issues around the world.
