9.03m: A Powerful and Moving Experience
9.03m is a short, first-person, art/empathy game for PC. Not a game in the traditional sense of the word, it aims to humanize and remember the victims of the 2011 Japanese tsunami. The media is quick to put figures to death tolls in such disasters, and 9.03m tries to remind people of the individuals behind those figures.
The game is set in a desolate and flooded city, with debris and overturned vehicles scattered around. The player character walks through the city, encountering various objects and listening to audio recordings of people talking about their experiences of the tsunami.
One of the most powerful aspects of 9.03m is its use of sound. The audio recordings are incredibly moving, and they really help to bring the player into the world of the game. The player can also hear the sounds of the tsunami itself, which is a constant reminder of the devastation that occurred.
The game is also very visually striking. The graphics are simple, but they are effective in creating a sense of atmosphere and place. The player character’s journey through the city is a powerful and moving experience, and it is impossible not to be affected by the stories of the people who were caught up in the tsunami.
9.03m is a difficult game to play, but it is also an important one. It is a reminder of the human cost of natural disasters, and it is a call to action to help those who have been affected by such events.

9.03m is a powerful tool for teaching empathy. The game puts the player in the shoes of someone who has experienced a terrible tragedy, and it allows the player to experience the emotions that come with such an event.
The game is also a reminder that we are all connected. The people who were affected by the tsunami were just like us, and they deserve our compassion and support.
