"Our project is a seed of change; watering it with play grows understanding and recovery." - Just as seeds grow into plants with care, engaging with our game cultivates growth in understanding and recovery from trauma.
- Learned about basic knowledge about family traumas, trauma symptoms, coping mechanisms, then designed narratives and gameplay based on it.
- Built the game via RPG JS framework.
- Making a game is time consuming.
We built a complete RPG experience that explicitly shows the traumatic history, triggered symptoms, coping mechanisms of a typical family trauma.
Our mental capacity to deal with stress also dropped after staying too late...
