'Asylum' describes an individual's need to leave a situation that poses serious harm to them (bodily or otherwise) in search of safety. Oftentimes, the first step in seeking asylum is to leave home which involves leaving behind everything and everyone you know in a grueling effort to reach safety.
Hey come check out the game jam that we're organising, theme of Asylum!.
