Video games can be a powerful tool for teaching empathy and understanding. By playing games that represent different perspectives, we can learn to see the world through the eyes of others and develop a greater appreciation for the diversity of human experience. Here are a few games that represent different perspectives, according to our colleagues in Tamatem Games:

Celeste

Celeste is a challenging platformer game that tells the story of Madeline, a young woman struggling with depression and anxiety. As Madeline climbs Celeste Mountain, she must confront her inner demons and learn to accept herself. Celeste is a powerful and moving game that explores the themes of mental illness, resilience, and hope.

What Remains of Edith Finch

What Remains of Edith Finch is a first-person narrative game that tells the story of the Finch family, a cursed family with a history of tragic deaths. The player takes on the role of Edith Finch, the last living member of the family, as she explores the Finch family mansion and learns about the deaths of her relatives. What Remains of Edith Finch is a haunting and beautiful game that explores the themes of family, grief, and mortality.

Undertale

Undertale is an RPG game in which the player can choose to kill or spare the monsters they encounter. The game’s combat system is designed to encourage the player to be compassionate, and the player’s choices have a real impact on the story and ending. Undertale is a unique and thought-provoking game that explores the themes of violence, mercy, and forgiveness.

Firewatch

Firewatch is a first-person adventure game in which the player takes on the role of Henry, a fire lookout stationed in Wyoming. Henry’s only contact with the outside world is his supervisor, Delilah, who he communicates with via a radio. As Henry spends more time in the wilderness, he begins to experience strange things and question his own sanity. Firewatch is a suspenseful and atmospheric game that explores the themes of isolation, loneliness, and mental health.
