This atmospheric Horror Game makes a dive in the subject of abusive relationships. Revisit how the protagonist got here and wander through the deepest areas of his thoughts.
This Game was created as a Bachelor Project in Game Design at the University of Applied Science in Berlin. Supervised By Prof. Sebastian Stamm and Florian Grolig.
This Project led me into new experiences such as being a team leader, working in a professional environment for the characters voice in collaboration with Kyanite studio and Léa Marriage, and collecting personal statements of victims of abusive relationships to ensure the best depiction possible.
Here is a Gameplay of my game by CJUgames. I was especially happy about the very positive reception I got not only from him, but from the comment section as well. This was for me a great moment of achievement, due to the amount of people talking about their story in the comment section and all agreeing that the game depicted this perfectly. Not only that, but one person even commented, that by seeing the Gameplay, they realized that themselves were in this type of relationship and that they had to make a change in their life.
new text: "Break the Circle" received positive feedback from him and many great comments, especially some very personal stories were shared in the comment section, Some even shared that the game helped them to realize that they had to make a change in their life . It was a great moment of achievement!
