Core Values We Bring Through the Game

• Cultural Curiosity: Players are encouraged to explore and appreciate cultures beyond their own through objects, stories, and everyday experiences.
• Empathy: Players experience another culture from Nina’s perspective, encouraging them to understand different ways of life through personal stories and interactions.
• Cultural Diversity: The game celebrates the uniqueness of different cultures while showing that differences can coexist and enrich our shared experiences.
• Connection & Harmony: By discovering similarities and differences between cultures, players are invited to see how people from different backgrounds can connect, learn from one another, and grow together.

A Cultural Journey

DRUZHBA explores Cultural Learning Through an Au Pair Perspective.

Rather than presenting culture as separate educational content, the game lets you discover it naturally through everyday objects, family interactions, personal stories, and historical context.

The Au Pair concept also creates room for future journeys introducing new families, countries, regions, and cultural stories through the same cozy gameplay experience.

Clean. Discover. Connect.
