Taking place in the 1860s, you are playing from the pov of a Chinese Immigrant, who has been hired (with a bunch of other immigrants) to excavate paths and create a railroad (this being the Transcontinental Railroad) that will stretch out through the US. The objective of the game is to complete the job and.. y'know.. not die? This is a school project made for my US History class for our "Interactive Museum" project. My goal was to show the impact on the workers, who were mostly Chinese immigrants looking for a place to work.
School project for US History on the impact of Chinese immigrants working on the Transcontinental Railroad Roughly 15,000 Chinese immigrants were hired for this underpaid labor. These workers had to suffer unfair and dangerous work environments, being the dynamite they had to use, the disaster afterwards (falling rocks or potential avalanches in general), terrible weather, dangling baskets, etc.
