We Become What We Behold is a thought-provoking browser game that explores media influence and social dynamics in about five minutes of play. In this casual point-and-click experience, you snap photos of simple square and circle characters on screen — and the images you display trigger ripple effects across the population.
The gameplay centers on choosing what to highlight: a romantic couple, an angry figure, or someone ordinary. Each choice launches a chain reaction. For example, photographing anger turns bystanders fearful and eventually aggressive, altering the entire community’s behavior. The game’s opening quote, “We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and then our tools shape us,” sets the tone perfectly.
Created by indie developer and released in October 2016, this freely playable HTML5 title challenges players to reflect on how easily narratives and media‐cycles feed into social change. With simple mechanics and deep commentary, it’s a unique game worth experiencing.
