A SHORT GAME BY DE FAULT & CHARD

Foreigners reported to the authorities have a nasty habit of being 'disappeared' by the vigilante English Protection Group.

You're outcasts, living a private life miles from others already. When faced with someone desperate and alone, someone you're in a position to help, is it your responsibility to?

This is a single, film-like scene. You control the actions of Ola, a retired political cartoonist, as well as directing the camera shots between the cinematic angles available.

The second of twelve small, experimental narrative games to be released monthly.

“The Outcast Lovers is a very tense and cinematic experience that deals with some difficult subject matter in a thoughtful and captivating way.”

“Mary and Ola’s cosy home is a sharp contrast to the cold waters of The Night Fisherman, but the child’s plight is just as dire.”
