Italian-born Leonard Menchiari, formerly an Editor/Cinematographer at Valve, had an idea for a new game: Riots.

The idea is much more poignant and complicated than it sounds than just starting fires or shooting pepper spray: The riots features in his “RIOT” game will be based on actual, documented riots from countries all over the world, complete with comments and input from those directly involved.

Menchiari, himself, is no stranger to riots and he hopes this game will educate people, as the player will play both sides in the conflict, “in which there is no such thing as “victory” or “defeat.”

Menchiari hopes to develop the game for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.
