In Level One: The Chase, Harriet Tubman moves forward while being chased.

Rendered in an 8-bit, side-scrolling format, this piece depicts Ms. Tubman holding light as ghost-like figures pursue her from behind. These figures intentionally resemble the Ku Klux Klan not as a shock device, but as a historical reality: the ever-present threat of white supremacist violence during her missions south.

The black background represents danger, concealment, and the unknown the terrain where survival depended on timing, courage, and movement. Ms. Tubman is not frozen in fear; she is in motion. Progress is the only option.

This work reframes history as a game where the stakes were real, the enemies relentless, and the objective was freedom not escape, but advancement.

The original painting exists as a one-of-one.

These archival prints preserve the story as an instructional artifact.

Ghost don't follow light Level Two: North Star Power represents the moment protection is activated.

Set against a haint blue background a color historically used to ward off evil Harriet Tubman now moves forward shielded. After gaining the “North Star power pallet,” the ghosts that once chased her no longer control the path. She is protected, aligned, and able to strike back.

This chapter transforms survival into strategy and strategy into power. The haint blue symbolizes spiritual defense, ancestral presence, and divine alignment marking a shift in the rules of the game.

Ms. Tubman: The Game Title T-Shirt

This t-shirt features the official title graphic from Ms. Tubman: The Game, printed across the chest and paired with an 8-bit Harriet Tubman character illuminated by her lantern.

Set on a black field, the design reads like a classic title screen where darkness frames direction, and light signals movement.

The ghosts behind Harriet appear as echoes rather than obstacles. They acknowledge history, but they do not control the outcome. The rules are already established: forward motion wins.

As a t-shirt, this piece functions as the most accessible entry point into the Ms. Tubman: The Game universe — a wearable title card that carries the narrative into everyday space.
