Before the Law

## Description

_Before the Law_ is a short game based on a short story of the same name by
the existentialist writer Franz Kafka, as a parable of how law is perceived by
people. The game can be completed in two minutes and interaction is limited to
movement. It is entirely made in black-and-white white vague outlines for the
characters and the environment. The player controls a character who asks to
gain entry into the law, but the entrance is guarded by a gatekeeper who says
entry cannot be granted at the moment. Based on the player’s decision, two
different endings can be achieved. This is different from the original story
where there was but one conclusion, but designed in the same spirit.
