Unfamiliar (itch)

* Please be aware that Unfamiliar deals with serious topics that may not be appropriate for everyone. Unfamiliar

Unfamiliar is a visual novel/click-through game that attempts to show the affects of Alzheimer's on a family.

Tackling such a serious theme was a new and challenging experience for our entire team. While we had fun working together on this project, we tried to always keep in mind the solemn nature of the game.

We hope we were able to present these topics in a way that can shed some light on the seriousness of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

We also ask that you consider donating to one of these Alzheimer's research funds/care programs :

Thank you.

 

Special thanks to Seth Dawson for sharing his insight into the various ways Alzheimer's can affect people.

All content for Unfamiliar , including game concept and design, source code, artwork, sound effects, and music, was developed by our team in three days for ludum dare 42. No outside assets were used.

We first came together as a group during our senior project at the University of Central Oklahoma, where we all studied computer science. Our diverse backgrounds and interests have led to a versatile and dedicated group, all with a passion for gaming. This is our second ludum dare game.
