Game Studies

Faith is a college student in Upstate New York, trying to save an historic fieldstone house from being destroyed. Through magic wielded by a secret historical society, she is pulled back in time to the American Revolution, when the house is newly built. Once in the past, Faith encounters a variety of people living in the region, including people of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy  (Iroquois Nation) and British, French, and Scottish colonial settlers. Reaching the "good endings" in the game requires Faith to reflect on the complex history of the region, including the significant cultural differences between the people living there, and the enduring effects of the war.
