USONI - Beta Release Act 2
- #post-apocalyptic

- #adventure
Jiwe Studio is now launched USONI the Beta release based on Act 2 in June 2022
Ophelia the woman who said: "My baby will be born under the sun or won’t be born at all", has finally managed to escape Hell Europe but the boat she has boarded had capsized – again everyday news – to end up on a beach where, with other people, she is harassed by military before being thrown in a cell in detention center.
"One more time the scenario of USONI can be seen on screens, showing the news of the day. Just the other day on the 24th of June, there were reports of an incident of people trying to cross from the Melilla boarder from Morocco into Spain. Violent clashes with police, some people injured, some died even…
So this is what we would like to say: this scenario should remain as a scenario for a game, a game to play it should never be reality, cruel reality of people desperate enough to risk their life and the life of their kids to cross this sea to get to this hopeful land, unfortunately hopeless to them."
SOMEHOW USONI REFUSES TO REMAIN A GAME OF FANTASY OF WHAT THE FUTURE COULD HOLD.

Son of the Nile
Puzzle Game inspired by Teddy Warria’s “I am from” poems that lifts us to the vantage point of Sankofa.
The Sankofa is a mythical bird with her feet planted forward and her head turned backward.
The name comes from the Akan tribe in Ghana, translated from Twi as “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind” and implying a quest for knowledge utilizing the wisdom of the past.

You may think that slavery is a thing of the past but it is not.
In the heart of Mali, a remarkable collaborative project unfolded, uniting villagers, developers, and artists from across Africa. They embarked on a game design journey, where their collective wisdom and experiences intertwined to co-create captivating game concepts. Driven by the team's research, within a bustling workshop, fifty skilled developers from seven African countries joined forces with an adept Africa-based technical and artistic team. Together, they delved into the realms of imagination, fueled by the vibrant voices of the community.
As the project progressed one concept stood out — a visionary anti-slavery Afro-futurist game, aiming to shed light on the issue of slavery through a futuristic lens.
