We Become What We Behold is a short narrative game where you take pictures of a group of characters going about their everyday life. You play by positioning the camera with your mouse to capture moments of life. It's novel because this seemingly innocent action has unexpected consequences and something to say about the power of the media. (The game doesn't hold back on this narrative and includes content only suitable for adults or with parental permission.)

"We shape our tools, then our tools shape us," states the game when you begin. You start by observing and catching simple misunderstandings between a circle and a square, and then make your choices to generate tension between the masses of Circles and Squares.

As you progress you realise that the relationships between the characters are affected by the moments you capture and promote on your screen. As a result, a minor disagreement between a circle and a square can become more tricky. Things steadily descend from there.

The result is a game about a few bad apples. It shows how an individual action projects onto a whole group and results in gross distortions of reality. The camera and television which simply record moments in reality overtake reality itself.
