The project
One territory. Competing powers. A critique.
Favela TD is a social critique of policing expressed through a game. Its fiction presents parallel powers competing for territory where the state lacks effective control. The aim is reflection on authority, violence, and institutional neglect, without equating the community with those powers. The local prototype includes combat, five playable groups, and a simulator using the same Dart core as the client. Content, difficulty, and presentation are still in development.
Social purpose
Playing can also mean questioning.
Use the language of games to reflect on policing, parallel powers, and institutional neglect. The critique targets power structures, not residents.
