Description

John Stevens wakes up in a mysterious place and is told that his mind has been linked to the dreams of Luke Williams, a man who is suffering from severe depression. He has been sent there to find Luke, understand his story and help him in taking the first step out of his darkness. You will dig deep into Luke's dreams non-linearly, past and future, where memories and symbolism are blended together, meet his close family and friends, and unfold the heartbreaking, powerful and emotional story of his life.

History

I have always had a passion for story-driven games, whether it's the crazy fantastical worlds of the old LucasArts point-and-click adventures, to the more emotionally and humane packed stories such as To The Moon. I believe that narrative is one of the aspects where there seems to exist a lesser focus from the majority of the developers, so I sought to add my contribution to that genre. I decided to create something that is midway between a game and an interactive novel, a game where the main focus on the characters, their relationships, and how they interact and react to the world and the happenings around them. It's a humane story, an emotional story, a sad story. That I believe that is relevant for us to experience, to connect and hopefully to help us cope with similar situations that may affect ours or one of our loved one's lives.

About Filipefthomaz

Boilerplate
Hi! I am an engineer/composer/writer that have worked as a biotechnological engineer and also have ventured into various artistic projects, most proudly as a director of an original musical theatre, with both score and libretto of my own. Having delved into the gamedev industry due to my love for games and stories, I see this medium as a wonderful and unique way to bring a story to life through a combination of visuals, interaction, music and storytelling, leading to a more engaging experience.
