=====================
"A surprisingly emotional experience" \- KJ Robertson (alphabetagamer)
"A simple game to show how high levels of air pollution are affecting China's citizens--in particular, its children." -Rachel Pick (VICE)
"The delivery of the message is excellent." - Brendan Caldwell (Rockpapershotgun)
"[Hazy Days] recalls the political games of Molleindustria that focus on the terrible human conditions"- (Killscreen)
"Although only a single button is needed, the game is deceptively challenging." - Carlos Daez (Thecurrent)
"It is cruelly real." \- Belen Gomez (Onseriousgames)
=====================
I've been living in China for over a year now and while the city is great, the air pollution is a real issue that people deal with on a day-to-day basis. I made Hazy Day based on my own personal experiences and I hope that it can help put into perspective what it feels like to breathe in smog.
China's air pollution levels are constantly covered in the media. With Hazy Days, I hope to humanize the issue so that the problem can be more relatable.
Please leave a review to help spread the word. Thanks for playing.
