Hold Me Closer

A mother’s journey through her own denial of her grief.

An action-platformer, with a story shown in fragments throughout the game. A journey through a mother’s denial of her grief, as she brings home her memories of her child.

You play as Mother whose goal is to bring glowing orbs back home filled with memories from better days. You traverse the everchanging forest where you will meet twisted enemies, gaping cliffs, and giant toys blocking your way. You go through the world by outrunning your enemies, hiding from them, and pushing any one and anything else that stands in your way.
