Takeaways:
Yoake gave me an opportunity to dictate the design of a game from start to finish. Through this project, I was able to showcase different ways of dealing with grief and loss, a topic that has been unfortunately dear to me. Through its storybook aesthetic, Yoake conveys the fragility of a child’s mind, showing a glimpse of just how loss can affect a developing mind. Characters were modeled after myself and my younger sister.
