How much are you willing to sacrifice for someone you love in the middle of a war?

Fatherhood offers an atmospheric, war adventure experience that lets you see wars from the perspective of innocent people. Telling the tale of Basir's SACRIFICE, Fatherhood presents players with the hardest dilemmas of an ongoing catastrophe called WAR in the Middle East.

After the outbreak of war, Basir and his young daughter Asma, who lost her sight in an explosion, are searching for a safe place to take refuge. However, they must navigate areas patrolled by armed soldiers, with no stores available to purchase water and medicine from. At times, they confront the game's central dilemma: balancing the preservation of their humanity with ensuring their safety.

Being a Father

Establishing a deep relationship with Asma is a crucial aspect of the game, requiring constant awareness of her needs. Your decisions throughout the game will have a lasting impact on your relationship with your daughter. For example, if you choose to help someone or kill someone in front of her, it will shape her perception of you and affect the course of your relationship. It's up to you to make the best choices for both yourself and Asma as you navigate the game's challenges.

When Your Neighbor Becomes Your Enemy

When the civil war starts, you don't know exactly who your enemy is. The army forces may mistake you for rebels, and if you don't cooperate with the rebels, they will kill you. When the terror shadow of extreme religion rules over the cities, many people kill in the name of God. This is the atmosphere that governs Fatherhood.

Survival or Humanity?

You are faced with difficult decisions that will shape the story and the fate of your characters. Your choices have a direct impact on the narrative, so you must choose wisely. As a civilian caught in the middle of a war, you cannot rely on weapons and violence to solve your problems. Killing people is not an easy option for you, even if it means protecting yourself or your loved one. Your enemies, on the other hand, may not share the same reluctance to use force. Nevertheless, you must find a way to navigate the conflict and make the best choices for your survival and the future of your daughter.

Nothing to Lose

As you flee from soldiers, the stress of facing the enemy can be overwhelming and it can increase your daughter's ANXIETY, but you can HUG her to calm her down. Though opportunities to defend yourself against soldiers are rare, you must make the most of any available resources to survive.

Stealth to Survive, as a Rule of Instinct

You play the role of an ordinary person who has never killed anyone before and finds it difficult. On the other hand, the path ahead is full of heavily armed enemies. In these circumstances, what option is left other than resorting to stealth?
