My daily life
brutally collapsed the day my wife, Marie, decided to end her life.
The violence of her death led to a criminal investigation and journalists questioning the nature of what had happened... And although Marie suffered from bipolar disorder, the demons of regret over our recent separation began to surface.
To try to understand why Marie gave up on life, I continue to reflect on our life together and the choices I made. It is a necessary evil to find the right words to ask Theo, our 5-year-old son, to help him deal with the loss of his mother.
Live my life and learn if your choices are similar to mine.
The Concept:
A visual novel and adventure game, Lie in My Heart is an exploration of a family tragedy and the autobiographical possibilities of video games. The game is based on the concept of "expression games": gaming experiences that give players the opportunity to step into someone's shoes in order to explore personal psychological and social issues, as well as moral and ethical dilemmas and their consequences. This concept stems from years of research by game designer and researcher Sébastien Geneveaux.
Key Features:
A narrative, interactive, and artistic experience that redefines what a game is.
This game includes sensitive and poignant themes inspired by everyday life and real events.
Easy to play and deep in its content, the game mechanics create high replay value.
In addition to its personal story, Lie In My Heart illustrates universal themes such as losing a loved one, dealing with mental illness, and helping a child deal with death.
Its vision and music are inspired by powerful cinematic and musical works (such as the world of David Lynch, the music of Steven Wilson, and the band Tool) . Minimum
