A Game by Katie Green

Inspired by David Lynch

The WebGL build offers a modified version of the desktop builds. The desktop build features full motion video, while the WebGL build offers a slightly different experience. 

Created for Fix Your Hearts or Die: David Lynch Game Jam 2. I conceived of this game after watching Inland Empire for the first time. It utilizes some long form video created back in 2021 but never found a use until now. I have not actually published a game in many years so this is my first standalone digital game since 2021! Not coincidentally this project was created with Unity 2021.1. 

David Lynch intentionally defies linear, grounded constructions of time and space in his films. He constantly reminds the audience of the artifice involved in crafting fiction. The manner in which digital games approach time and space is inherently different from film, and I wanted to explore that with this game. The project also further establishes my artistic motif of forests and nature as important places.

All assets created by me except for assets credited below. No AI was used in the making of this project.
