That Dragon, Cancer

Description

That Dragon, Cancer is an immersive narrative experience that serves as a heartfelt tribute from a video game developer to his son, Joel Green. It invites players to walk alongside the Green family, remembering Joel's life and the impact of his four-year battle with cancer. Through a blend of first-person and third-person perspectives, point-and-click interactions, and a two-hour runtime, the game slows down time to explore a deeply personal memoir. It incorporates audio from home videos, spoken word poetry, and themes of faith, hope, despair, and love, while honoring over 200 Kickstarter backers with in-game tributes. This poetic and playful retelling asks a profound question: can you find hope in the face of death?
