More Information

This was a game Ruilan and I made for a non-game design class. We were tasked with creating a narrative that was engaging and I believe we succeeded in that. This game is ultimately (spoiler) about grief and overcoming loss. The stuffed toy is a representation of a family member the player character is close to. The final scene is a representation of last words the player character was able to have with this loved one. This game was inspired by my own experiences with grief and specifically the loss of my grandmother. She had struggled with dementia and could only speak Hungarian and German, so I never got the opportunity to have those last words with her. I hope this game effectively gives players the opportunity to reflect and to be sure to talk to the people they love.
