This Is Not A Game
"This Is Not A Game" is a short animation that contrasts the innocence and fun of an arcade room with the brutal reality of gun violence. Set in a once-lively arcade now reduced to smoke-filled wreckage, spent bullets, and a discarded toy gun to blur the line between play and real-life tragedy.
