Revolutionary Stealth Game Dreams on a Pillow Blasts Past £150K Crowdfunding Goal Early

Dreams on a Pillow: A Video Game Chronicling the Nakba

A recent video game, Dreams on a Pillow, is making significant progress in charting the true story of the 1948 Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arabs. With a remarkable three-quarters of its crowdfunding goal secured, the game is set to continue its journey, with over three weeks still to go.

A Heartwrenching Journey

Dreams on a Pillow is a "pseudo-3D stealth adventure game" that delves into the heart of the Nakba, following the story of Omm, a young mother from an olive farmers’ family in al-Tantura. As she navigates through historical events and stories, Omm attempts to escape towards Lebanon in the North, providing an immersive and emotional experience for players.

A Decade of Passion and Perseverance

Rasheed Abueideh, the Palestinian game developer, has been working on this project for almost a decade, driven by his passion to share the untold stories of the Nakba. His determination has been nothing short of remarkable, overcoming numerous obstacles and rejections to bring this game to life.

A Game That Tells the Stories of Anyone, Anywhere

Abueidah firmly believes that games have the power to tell the stories of anyone, anywhere. With Dreams on a Pillow, he has created a platform that allows players to step into the shoes of those affected by the Nakba, providing a poignant and thought-provoking experience.
