Our take on Suppressed

Escape is not treated only as movement through a hostile setting. Personal accounts become part of the progression: giving items to characters reveals their stories, while the combined accounts expose the political conditions shaping the protagonist’s journey.

What is Suppressed?

Suppressed combines visual-novel storytelling with 2D platforming.

The game follows a boy from a rural village who seeks to escape an isolated, totalitarian nation modeled after North Korea. During the journey, he experiences family death and depression while meeting other people. Giving an item to a character reveals that person’s story, and connecting these accounts exposes the effects of propaganda, poverty, and tyranny. The game addresses human-rights themes and a real-world issue involving North Korea. Its setting includes interactable characters, and the story has two endings. The stated purpose is to entertain while increasing awareness of what is happening in North Korea.
