PARANOIA

In Karachi after dark, outdoor spaces become playgrounds for fear as mosquitoes emerge and surround us. Their small size and rapid movement create an environment of heightened panic and paranoia as we try to evade the threat of being bitten.This paranoia is central to the game where the player must search in the dark for these blood sucking insects and smash them. What ensues is a humorous imitation of the every day struggle of catching and smacking this dangerous bug with our hands. A twist of visual elements from the real world and traditional video game imagery come together on this platform to satirically approach the predicament citizens of Karachi face every monsoon season due to the inadequacy of infrastructure and lack of government accountability.
