Made with love: ‘A Space For The Unbound’, a video game set in a rural Indonesian town in the 1990s, was designed to capture what Surabaya is like. — The Straits Times/ANN

THE last place Indonesian Warji Utama expected to see a stall selling mie bakso, or meatball noodles, was in a video game.

And the more he played adventure game A Space For The Unbound, the more he was reminded of home, with its local references such as Indomie, the instant noodles brand, and the fruit-and-vegetable salad rojak.
