Never Forget...

Game Description

Whenever horrible tragedies occur, the spotlight lies on the ones responsible. This is also the case for the people involved in the NSU murders occuring from 2000 to 2007 in Germany. This game tried to portray an abstract experience of how this loss is percieved. How having a whole community  focus on the perpetrators instead of the victims leads to even more loss, as those cherished memories people shared with the victims get buried below more and more articles abt the tragedy itself.

Memories are sacred to those who hold them dear. But who continues to hold them dear when they are lost? 

Multiple Levels are inspired by the lifes lead by two victims of the connected murders in Nuremberg - Enver Şimşek, operator of several flower stalls in southern Germany and İsmail Yaşar, owner of a wellknown kebab shop in Scharrerstraße, Nuremberg.

We treat these tragedies with utmost respect, as they remind us of how quick a big community tries to believe a realistic narrative, even when the whole truth hasnt been laid out in full. Following this we were mainly inspired by the positive aspect of their lives, the passion they had for their jobs and lifestyle as well as the impressions they left on their surroundings.
