After spending some time looking at the different stories and games, I was drawn to Ayan's Journey. A story about children growing up in one of the hardest places to live on Earth; Somalia.

The piece is only 3 minutes long but is incredibly hard-hitting. You come face to face with stick-thin children​ ​in the middle of a desert strewn with animal carcasses.
