App Store Description

Biik Bilik is a narrative game co-designed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living in Dandenong, Australia. It tells the story of how Aunty Leah may be isolated throughout the pandemic, but still plays an important role in Jimmy's life. Throughout the game you'll get introduced to local people that live in Dandenong and can support you and connect you to other (real life) locals.

Quirky characters you'll meet in the game and that also exist in real life!
- Dr Hung, the resident GP (and GP of the year) at the Bunurong Health Services in Dandenong
- Stewart, The Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer in Dandenong
- Jenny, the CEO of the Dandenong District Aboriginal Co-Operative Limited.
- Nathan, the Youth Worker at Dandenong District Aboriginal Co-Operative Limited.

Biik Bilik is a place where Aboriginal communities can build out their stories and share them with others. If you identify as Aboriginal and live in Australia we invite you to share your story with us and we can build it into the game. We are currently working to expand and localise the game to all areas in Australia.
