Caminhe por um trajeto comovente ao lado de uma família que homenageia a memória do filho Joel neste adventure indie. Os desenvolvedores criaram o jogo como um tributo sincero, misturando perspectivas em primeira e terceira pessoa com mecânicas point-and-click. A narrativa de duas horas se inspira em vídeos caseiros, poesias e emoções cruas como fé, esperança, desespero, impotência e amor.
Os jogadores desaceleram para reviver a luta de quatro anos de Joel contra o câncer por meio de vinhetas interativas e tributos a entes queridos de backers do Kickstarter. Essa experiência no estilo de memórias, disponível no PC, provoca reflexões sobre a mortalidade. Ela cativa quem busca journeys narrativos e contemplativos.
"This is where we go to remember our son Joel, up through here along this path. We want to show you who he was, and how his life changed us. Can we walk here together for a while?"
A videogame developer's love letter to his son; an immersive narrative driven experience to memorialize Joel Green and, through his story, honor the many he represents. That Dragon, Cancer is a poetic and playful interactive retelling of Joel’s 4-year fight against cancer.
Using a mix of first-person and third-person perspective, and point-and-click interaction, this two-hour narrative experience invites the player to slow down and immerse themselves in a deeply personal memoir featuring audio taken from home videos, spoken word poetry, and themes of faith, hope, despair, helplessness and love, along with in-game tributes to the loved ones of over 200 of our Kickstarter backers.
Can you find hope in the face of death?
Note: Thank You For Playing is an independent project, produced and directed by Malika Zouhali-Worrall and David Osit. The Green family along with the rest of the Numinous team did not produce the film, but they are very honored to be the subjects of the film.
