ABOUT THE GAME
Sheltered - GGJ 2019 Submission
https://globalgamejam.org/2019/games/sheltered
this year's global game jam theme is "what home means to you". while a lot of people made games relating to family values, nostalgia, and homelands, we made something a little bit more personal.
the comforts of our home often make us feel safe and secure, but it may also become a crutch that prevents us from living
me and alex made a short game (around 5 to 15 minutes long) over 48 hours about what it's like. it's not exactly fun in the traditional sense of the word, but nevertheless we hope that the game is engaging and makes those emotions more understandable

Thank you for depicting my current state...
I am not proud, but I live a similar life style. The thing is I have been isolating myself for so long that I feel like I will barely succeed there, in the outside world. Also, why bother, when I have food and home provided by parents, video games to feel entertained and "fulfilled" and social media be "connected"?
Perhaps humans were not built for this technology, even though we say that it was made for us...
Regardless, these times will pass. They have to, as I will not let myself fail like this. Fail my parents, my grandma... me.
Right now I talked to Mr. Dad and I decided to go to driving school, so that is an improvement.
I am currently at uni, but they barely teach us anything so everything is self-taught (I wonder why I even go). I did not connect with anyone there, mostly because they already have friends and we don't share much in common (why can't anyone like my monster sketches or obscure, albeit interesting and cool indie titles???). Anyways...
Thanks for making me look into this "mirror" of a game and for showing us that there is a light at the end of the dark, mystified tunnel.
way too real and reminiscent of my childhood lol, amazing work on this. played til day 50 but I'm not sure if there was more I missed
This totally vibes. I have been (and remain in) a 'too much home' place in life.
After some health issues I was born with took another massive dive a couple years ago: I was told I can't safely drive anymore. Home alone almost all day almost every day, not a safe neighborhood for a walk. AND my computer stopped working around then. I usually wake up to all the window drapes pulled shut so darkish house.
Home feels like a tomb sometimes...
thanks for sharing this. ;-; i felt feelings.
