I am Swiss. I moved to Malmö six months ago in order to find a job. Living abroad has not always been easy for me. In this game, I tell you my story. It's a game about good and bad days, the music that accompanies me everyday and about my personal weapon.

It was really interesting to be in the perspective of an immigrant. The mood was greatly underlyed by the music. awesome and different :)

Very interesting to see such a personal story in this manner.
I haven't heard much about how it is for EU immigrants so it's interesting to see that perspective.

(It might be just me but it feels like there should be a option for Swedish music)

This was nice! I too live in Sweden (except not as an immigrant), so it was an interesting perspective.

Music was good (I picked German), tho it was a little distracting to read when there were lyrics in the songs.

Short but to the point. Good job. Only complaint I really have is that eventually you might pick a choice that will take you back to a day you already experienced. Would've been good if the game kept track of your options and didn't present links to parts of the story you'd already been through.

It said straight out that working out was the weapon, but I guess the greater picture is that staying focused and fighting for your goals in general are your weapon against all these forces working against you (not getting a job; incompetence from services). That's a great take on the theme.

I've played few entries so far, but his was a good one!

As for Xgor's suggestion on Swedish music, I feel like Kent would've been a fitting option in that case. c;

"funny fact": 72h after having submitted that game, I got my room here in malmö canceled by my roommate (She doesn't know about this game). Guess what I did after hearing these bad news...? ;-)
