NOTE: This is not a game, but a narrative documentary experience.

"Home After War" is a room-scale, interactive virtual reality experience that takes you to Fallujah, a city that was, until recently, under Islamic State (IS) control. The war against IS has ended but the city is still unsafe.

There’s one looming fear for returning refugees – booby trapped homes and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the neighbourhoods.

Ahmaied Hamad Khalaf and his family returned home after the fighting subsided.

Explore Ahmaied’s home by either walking physically or teleporting in the space as he tells you his story about returning to a home that might be booby trapped. Witness life outside the four walls of his house through 360° videos embedded in the space.

Hear Ahmaied speak of his loss, and his hopes. Learn what it's like to fear the home you once loved.

WARNING: This experience contains disturbing content. Viewer discretion is advised. It may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy or post-traumatic stress disorder.

Interesting and eye waking

Shows an inside personal view of the hardship and tragedy.. Very eye opening. Just wish it was longer film.

Oddly Peaceful.

More real than expected. An excellent opportunity to see and understand the lives of our oppressed brothers on the other end of Earth.
