We Become What We Behold

We Become What We Behold is a tiny indie game with a surprisingly big message. Instead of fighting enemies or solving difficult puzzles, you hold a camera and decide which moments deserve attention. Every photo becomes tomorrow’s headline, and the crowd slowly starts changing because of what you choose to show.

The game uses simple cartoon characters and a playful style, but underneath the humor is a clever story about attention, fear, trends, and how quickly ordinary situations can grow into something much bigger. Despite lasting only a few minutes, it’s one of those games people remember long after they’ve finished it.

How to Play?

• People wander around the square, chatting, dancing, arguing, or simply enjoying their day. Your job is to capture moments with your camera.
• Whenever you take a picture, it is broadcast to everyone. The people in the square react to those headlines, creating new situations for you to photograph. As more photos appear, the atmosphere changes step by step until the story reaches its unforgettable conclusion.
• There are no scores or time limits. The experience is about observing, choosing, and seeing the consequences unfold.
