Description
“She wanders the depths, seeking to be noticed and heard.”
In the Keeper’s Shadow is an intimate hand-painted adventure game where Emi, a young, inquisitive girl journeys to unearth secrets amidst the crumbling, war-torn city she’s called home. Through a mix of point and click, direct control, and puzzles, players will help Emi understand and confront an ever encroaching twisted psychological and physical landscape. The game features audio logs, artifacts, atmospheric sound, and complex characters that invite players to connect with echoes of the past and ponder themes of love, despair, compassion, inner strife, and closure.
Will she put the pieces together before it’s too late?
hISTORY
The game is built on the visionary world of Jessica Fong and her portfolio of over 10 years of work expressing her family’s struggle to confront their history with child abuse. The work has shaped the person she is today, fueling her passions and drive to be her own advocate. The founders wish to create something meaningful from this darker chapter of her life and have the confidence to share these creative expressions and mindscapes with others. We see the game as a needed cathartic release for those closest to the work and who want greater awareness of the signs and consequences of child abuse.
“To what we go through alone and together when facing the hardships of our past”
