Recorre un sendero conmovedor junto a una familia que honra la memoria de su hijo Joel en este juego indie de aventuras. Los desarrolladores lo crearon como un emotivo homenaje, combinando perspectivas en primera y tercera persona con mecánicas point-and-click. Su narrativa de dos horas se inspira en vídeos caseros, poesía y emociones crudas como la fe, la esperanza, la desesperación, la impotencia y el amor.
Los jugadores ralentizan el paso para explorar la lucha de cuatro años de Joel contra el cáncer mediante viñetas interactivas y tributos a seres queridos de los backers de Kickstarter. Esta experiencia estilo memoir en PC reta a los jugadores a enfrentar la mortalidad. Atrapa a quienes buscan viajes reflexivos y centrados en la narrativa.
"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.
