AHANAR

A MAZE. / Berlin 2023 - Open Screens: Ahanar

by Zhenia Puzankov, Jakub Zataj, Darr Izvkv (Russian Federation, Poland)

Genre: Anti-War

Ahanar is an interactive experience about a fictional (hopefully) town in Buriatia where all men were mobilized and none came back. Now Russia sends random men there and the women aren't having it.

The game is split into three sections covering different generations of Ahanar women: GenZ, GenX, and Primordial. None of them are having a good time.

CW: This is an anti-war project and as such deals with hard topics of oppression, racism, warmongering, power abuse, homophobia.

Platform: PC
