Global Conflicts: Latin America (GC:LA) is a 3D- computer game designed to let players explore key problems in Latin American countries. The Latin American region is one of the most turbulent, violent, and poverty-striken places in the world, yet we rarely hear anything about the nations that struggle with the remnants of paramilitary rule, extreme poverty, and exploitation of the population. In a region where politicians and police are feared rather than trusted, desperation runs rampant and all too often the results are terrible. In GC:LA, players assume the role of an investigative journalist on assignment in Bolivia, Guatemala, and Mexico where human rights violations, debt slavery, corruption, trafficking of humans, and pollution threaten the existence of untold numbers of people. Players will experience situations taken form real life and develop an understanding of the conditions under which millions live. The goal of the game is to gather information to be used in confrontational interviews with people central to the conflict. When they are done, players will be given a rating so they might see how well they have done in gathering information and used this to push people to get confessions for their article.
