Press Review (english): Street News Servis on FRONTIERS

Taking gamers to the borders of Europe, the computer game ‘Frontiers’ follows the escape of a refugee from the perspective of either a refugee or a border guard. 

„We`re no criminals“ says Isfan Osama. He and 50 other refugees from Sudan, Niger, Mali and Kashmir in the Spanish refugee camp Ceti in the Spanish territory Ceuta surround the team of 4 artists from „gold extra“. They all want to tell their story, of 4-5 years of escaping through desert, mountains and over the sea until they ended up being stranded in this European city on African soil. The city of Ceuta will be the scenery of one of the levels of the computer game „frontiers“, which „gold extra“ is going to publish in 2008. In it the escape to Europe can be re-enacted.
