''Leaving Home''
It’s always been hot. Somalia is mostly desert after all, but it never used to be this bad. Your children are too young to remember a time before you had to fight for every meal and every sip of water. There just isn’t enough to go around. The heat was only the beginning. When you were younger, you used to wonder why the rain you loved so much as a boy seemed to all but stop as you grew older. The crops failed and every year you had to survive on less food than the last, as the water supply couldn’t keep up, and your family's lands were battered by hurricanes and dust storms. Finally, it got so bad that you and your wife, Asiili, couldn’t keep your farm anymore. It couldn’t sustain you and your family, so you have no choice but to move to Kenya, where you hope to find safety and stability. Your children, Miski and Asad, still don’t understand why you have to move, but you have told them that as long as your family is together, everything will be okay.
Your final destination is Dadaab refugee camp in Dadaab, Kenya (328 km away):

* Playing as a fictional character, Hiraad, will make a series of choices throughout your journey from homeland in Jamaame, Somalia to Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kenya. At the top of your screen, you will be able to monitor your family's health, money, and food and medical supplies. You will start with 60000 Somali Shillings (~ 100 USD). Before you begin your journey and at each checkpoint (except the Somali-Kenyan border) you will be able to visit the market to buy food and medical supplies.
* Throughout your journey you will encounter various scenarios that could increase or decrease the amount of food or medical supplies you have, the amount of money your have, or your health. Note that if you do not have any food at a given time, your family's health will start to decrease rapidly.
* You can heal yourself and your family by applying medicine with the button on the top left of the screen.
* The lower your family's health, the more likely it is that a member of your family will die.
* Your score at the end of the game will account for the number of family members alive (out of 4) and your family's health, amount of money, amount of food supplies, and amount of medical supplies that you have at the end.
* Your score will be 0 if every family member (including yourself) dies before reaching the refugee camp.
Good luck.
