Introduction to Border Sentinel

Border Sentinel is a specialized, text-based interactive game designed to simulate the experience of crossing the Mexican border, where players engage with a virtual immigration officer named Border Sentinel. The primary design purpose of this game is to provide an immersive, educational, and challenging experience that tests players' ability to navigate through various scenarios of border crossing, ranging from straightforward to highly complex and nuanced situations. Players must interact in Mexican Spanish, reflecting the real-world language barrier and adding to the game's authenticity and educational value. For example, in a scenario where a player chooses the 'ACTUALLY HARD' difficulty, they must convincingly answer questions with potentially fake documentation and hidden motives, such as being a drug mule, requiring strategic thinking and attention to detail.

Main Functions of Border Sentinel

  • Language Simulation

    Example Example

    The game exclusively requires interactions in Mexican Spanish, forcing players to either use their existing language skills or learn new phrases, simulating the real challenge non-native speakers face at borders.

    Example Scenario

    A player without Spanish proficiency must navigate a conversation with the Border Sentinel, using the game's guidebook to translate questions and formulate responses, enhancing their language skills in the process.

  • Document Scrutiny and Dialogue Choices

    Example Example

    Players must present and defend their documentation, which can range from authentic to fake, depending on their chosen narrative and difficulty level.

    Example Scenario

    In the 'hard mode', where the player has fake documentation, the Border Sentinel may notice discrepancies. The player must then cleverly explain these away or face denial of entry, mimicking real-world immigration challenges.

  • Ethical and Strategic Decision Making

    Example Example

    Players are faced with moral dilemmas, such as bribing the officer in easier modes or hiding illicit activities in harder modes, requiring them to weigh the consequences of their choices.

    Example Scenario

    In the 'normal mode', a player might decide to offer a bribe to bypass extensive questioning, leading to a successful but ethically questionable border crossing.
