belong.

Growing up as someone with mixed race, in a place that your ethnicity doesn't belong is an experience that many people experience in a world that is ever growing smaller. This experience is not only relevant to race but all types of identities and titles that do not fit easily into one box.

Join us in a short runner where you are a kid running home from school through various neighbourhoods, none of which are coloured to match the multicoloured shirt your player is wearing, and none of which you completely fit in. Jump through obstacles until you are able to discover a place where anyone can belong.
