PLEASE SEE UPDATED STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) The U.S. Embassy's Public Affairs Section (PAS) is seeking a vendor familiar with social impact video games to develop an interactive video game or visual novel focusing on D-Day, with the goal of engaging 16–25-year-olds. We want to emphasize the importance of diplomacy and constructive engagement in our game. Our target audience includes younger players, and we want to ensure that the content is suitable for them.

The game is set to be released just before the June 2024 commemorations, aiming to increase awareness, and understanding of the American role in the events surrounding D-Day. Only companies or individuals specializing in this field should apply.
