Target: BACRIM is an immersive, interactive documentary game designed to expose the realities of organized crime and human rights abuses in the Bajo Cauca region of Colombia.

• Target: BACRIM uses a hybrid model of non-fiction journalism and fictional narrative to immerse players in the human rights abuses and organized crime occurring in Colombia's Bajo Cauca region.

• Player agency is central to the experience, requiring users to make high-stakes decisions regarding police corruption, illicit mining, and social cleansing that directly influence the narrative outcome.
