We Become What We Behold is a game that revolves around the player's role as a photographer for five minutes, capturing key moments in the news. Your choices regarding what to include or exclude from the frame play a pivotal role in shaping the unfolding narrative of the Squares and Circles. Initially, you will document minor misunderstandings between these geometric entities, observing how each decision gradually intensifies the tension between the two groups. The game serves as a thought-provoking exploration of how social media platforms have the power to amplify minute discrepancies, eventually transforming them into immense and grotesque conflicts. Embrace your role and diligently carry out your journalistic duties, eagerly awaiting the climax that awaits you as the story unfolds before your very eyes (or lenses).
To control the game, simply use the left mouse button to capture a moment. When you spot a significant event or scene, click the left mouse button to capture it with your camera. This action allows you to make choices and shape the narrative as you progress through the game.
Begin by observing and documenting simple misunderstandings that arise between a circle and a square. Your choices will then be pivotal in generating escalating tension between the masses of Circles and Squares. Utilize the power of media amplification to reach a wider audience, as even the smallest disagreement between these shapes can grow more complex. You have the ability to determine what is included or excluded from the frame, shaping the trajectory of the Squares and Circles' story. As the tension between the two factions intensifies, a vicious cycle of anger and animosity emerges, rapidly spiraling towards a violent climax. Explore the disparities between mere disagreement, uncontrolled rage, and deep-seated hatred by observing the reactions of the squares and circles.
