While I Wake

This game focuses on the loss of a parent and child from the perspective of a child. This is a very family friendly game, no cursing or blood or major jumpscares. It does deal with a heavy subject matter but hopefully in a respectful, introspective way with emotional integrity. 

I am constantly inspired and moved by how children will see and process the world, believing in how it could be despite what it is. I wanted to tell a story from the perspective of a child confronted with one of the worst realities of life and how they come to process and accept it on their own terms.

 There is no fixing it, there is no solution. There is no resolution. Only this insurmountable loss you must learn to accept and move forward from. It's a part of life and being human. And it is a lesson we all learn at some point, hopefully by framing it this way we can grow from the spirit of this childhood mindset. 

Thank you to Egg who did the amazing art and images for the game!! And thank you to RavenBlueIndigo for the music. I can't say enough how much I appreciate all the time and effort y'all did for this. Egg, especially was a rock for me to cry to and I relied on them constantly. Coolest part of doing indie game dev stuff is the community I've found and the friends I've made.
