Hey! You Don’t Belong Here is an indie game that explores the complex and fragile relationship between Great Lakes trout and invasive alewives. Set in an ecosystem on the brink of collapse, the game invites players to navigate the intertwined lives of these species while grappling with the uncomfortable truths of environmental balance. The narrative centers on the trout’s reliance on alewives as a food source, despite the alewives being invasive and harmful to the ecosystem as a whole.
It’s a reflection on coexistence, dependency, and the fragility of balance in natural systems.
