Composure

Composure is a short game I developed for a school project where I was tasked to use the medium of game to convey serious themes.  It centers around the immediate grief upon losing a loved one and the following coping mechanisms that are used to deal with the loss. Some methods of coping can be beneficial, but in the long term they can lead to stagnation.

Although the meaning of the game is up to player interpretation, it becomes more clear upon subsequent playthroughs.
