Serious Games ST 2024

Stonewall – Streets of Rage is a serious arcade game set to be completed by late fall 2025, chronicling the events of the NYC 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal moment for queer and trans liberation movements – with far-reaching consequences for the marginalized communities concerned. The game concentrates on the brief minutes when a crowd collectively made the decision to risk it all and stand up to their oppressors. Focusing on four real-life participants as playable characters (Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, Dick Leitsch, and Storme DeLarverie); all of whom went on to become key historical figures in a strive for queer liberation. This way, the game will offer various distinctly different perspectives on the uprising, as all four figures played important but vastly different roles in their respective movements.
