Strings

High Concept:

"Strings" is a heartfelt 2D vampire survivor game with a flavor of RPG that invites players to experience the world through the eyes of a young, innocent boy trying to escape the turmoil of his parents' constant fighting. Consumed by guilt, he believes he is the cause of their discord. Retreating to his room, he immerses himself in an imaginary world that he perceives as a perfect sanctuary from the surrounding tension. However, this joyful escape is soon marred by the manifestations of his real-world anxieties, which intrude upon his dreams as unwelcome entities.
