We Become What We Behold
We Become What We Behold is a short point-and-click simulation game created by Nicky Case. The game looks simple at first, but it quickly shows how media can affect how people think and act.
You don't fight or run. You observe, choose, and publish moments. Every action you take changes the crowd. If you enjoy short games that make you think, this is a great one to try.
HOW TO PLAY
In We Become What We Behold, you play as a photographer in a busy public space. Your job is to capture moments between different characters and share them on a screen.
What you do:
- Move your camera around the crowd
- Look for interesting or unusual moments
- Take photos at the right time
- Publish those images
- Watch how the crowd reacts and changes
Your goal:
There is no score or timer. Your goal is to observe how your choices affect society. Each photo you post can influence how characters behave next.
What makes it challenging:
- You have to choose quickly which moment to capture
- Not all moments have the same impact
- Repeating similar content can change behavior faster
- Small choices can lead to big changes later
As the game continues, the reactions become stronger, and the situation evolves based on your actions.
What Makes This Game Special
- You control the "news": Everything people react to comes from your photos
- Clear cause and effect: You can see how one post changes future behavior
- Short but powerful: Only a few minutes, but easy to remember
- Simple design, strong message: Minimal visuals help you focus on the idea
Controls
- Mouse Move: Move the camera
- Left Click: Take a photo
- Wait: Watch how characters react after posting
