“A surprisingly emotional experience” - KJ Robertson (alphabetagamer)

“A simple game to show how high levels of air pollution are affecting China’s citizens—in particular, its children.” –Rachel Pick (VICE)

“The delivery of the message is excellent.” – Brendan Caldwell (Rockpapershotgun)

"[Hazy Days] recalls the political games of Molleindustria that focus on the terrible human conditions"– (Killscreen)

"Although only a single button is needed, the game is deceptively challenging." - Carlos Daez (Thecurrent)

“It is cruelly real.” - Belén Gómez (Onseriousgames)

"It’s simple but effective, the kind of eye-opening game that’s sorely lacking in the China gaming arena." -  Pavan Shamdasani (South China Morning Post)

"It's not often that you come across a great game that is intentionally created to raise awareness about important issues." - Mike Catabay (Nick Jr. Parents)

=====================

I lived in China from 2014 - 2023 and while the city is great, the air pollution is a real issue that people deal with on a day-to-day basis. I made Hazy Day based on my own personal experiences and I hope that it can help put into perspective what it feels like to breathe in smog.

China's air pollution levels are constantly covered in the media. With Hazy Days, I hope to humanize the issue so that the problem can be more relatable. Thanks for playing.
