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

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.
