Take Us North Kickstarter campaign launches for game about crossing the U.S.-Mexico border


Anima Interactive has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its game, Take Us North, about crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

With video games as the largest entertainment medium in the world, CEO Karla Reyes, a daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, believes in the immense untapped opportunity for interactive media to ignite positive cultural and social change. “We recognize this is a heavy-hitting and emotionally-charged subject matter; however, we’re committed to humanizing the migrant and refugee experience and portraying it sensitively, respectfully, and authentically,” the company said in its campaign. Players must guide their fellow travelers through perilous terrain, circumventing obstacles like dangerous wildlife, managing limited food and water supplies, and evading Border Patrol.
