Walking the Face of my Dead Grandfather

Walking the Face of my Dead Grandfather is shortform, exploration-based videogame that has the player wandering an abstract landscape and discovering a series of interactive vignettes based on the memories of the designer. It demonstrates how spatial barriers and boundaries can be used within a videogame short form to focus and streamline the attention of the player towards key narrative objects in the game world, and to mitigate feelings of confusion and lostness.

The game was exhibited at the Now Play This experimental game design festival from the 6th - 14th of April, 2024.
