As we said, this is not just a simple game but a set of many mini games. Each of these games is interactive and will require permission (even potentially invasive) to your smartphone. All the mini games consist of defeating or being more cunning and cunning than... cats.
Gao & Blaze
For example, there is the game Gao the introducer where a spy will be inserted into your contacts, i.e. a contact you don't know, and your aim is to find it and eliminate it before the time runs out. The contact will actually be created in your address book and your aim is precisely to look in the address book and erase the indicator.
Another game, for example, called Gao the photographer will ask you for permission to access your photographs. He will take one and show you a detail. You will have to recognize which photograph it belongs to. Alternatively you will be asked for a photograph with certain colors and you will have to be able to bring him a correct one.
In Gao the spy some settings on your smartphone such as alarms or your time zone will be changed and you will have to reset them in time. In Gao the athlete instead you will have to face Gao in a real race, managing to take 50 steps faster than him.

The game wants to highlight the problem of sharing data with companies
The game, as mentioned, requires many permissions and is deliberately made this way. In fact, its purpose is also to warn users about this aspect: there are companies that earn from our information and those who follow Le Alternative are certainly aware of it.
The game therefore revolves around this: our information is important and the applications we install can do literally anything if we are not careful with the permissions we give. Gao & Blaze it's just a fun game, it is Open source and with a free license. It's made by people who want to highlight this problem. A section has been created Knowledge on the official website all focused on this aspect.
Unfortunately, the game is only in English, French or German and we have not found simple methods to help create an Italian version as well.
