About the game:

A short game dealing with the theme of the 5 stages of grief.

"Persistent, traumatic grief can cause us to cycle through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. These stages are our attempts to process change and protect ourselves while we adapt to a new reality. "

Follow through these stages until the new reality can be accepted.

Inspired by a quote from the book “Norwegian wood” by Murakami:

“No truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see it through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning.”   

But I wanted to convey a different message with my game, one more hopeful than the one given in the quote.
