“Trauma” is game we developed during the 2nd Gi – Cluster Game Jam that took place in Athens December 2015. We joined forces with Aris and Nathan in order to create this narrative-based little game.
The theme was “enigma”. We decided to create an experience that was enigmatic not only for the player but for the character of the game as well. The player is exploring an abstract space and comes across some events. Each of these events have several meanings. For one player they can be thoughts, for some other memories or maybe even fears. The whole idea was that each experience has several interpretations. The aim of the game is to avoid the negative events and follow the positive ones until you reach the final event.
The game Jam itself was really nice and well organized. A bunch of great games were developed and each of them was quite interesting.
