Estive a rever um texto que falava sobre o videojogo . Não conhecia.
Trata-se de um videojogo indie “simples” com uma narrativa relacionada com a “condução” de um funcionário de uma fronteira que tem que tomar decisões sobre aqueles que podem ou não entrar no país. Para além desta situação ele também tem que lidar com o seu dia a dia familiar.
