We Become What We Behold is a short, thought-provoking indie game that takes a smart look at how the media influences people. You play as a kind of cartoon news camera, snapping pictures of random moments in a crowd. At first, it’s silly and harmless, but things start to shift as you realize how the news you create begins to shape the behavior of the people you're watching.
Click on individuals or events in the crowd to take snapshots. These snapshots are then broadcast as news, which affects how the crowd behaves. Your choices drive the narrative forward, and seemingly small actions can escalate tension or chaos in the population.
A powerful message packed into just a few minutes
Quirky, simple art that hides something deeper
Super easy to play—just point and click
A clever look at how fear and drama spread
Playthroughs are short, but can end in different ways
Observe how characters react to the news
Aim for balance—not every moment needs to be shocking
Try different choices to see alternative outcomes
Let the message of the game sink in—it’s more about reflection than winning
