Medium: Interactive narrrative game

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Fall 2022
Where do I belong if I am in-between two cultures?
This simulative, storytelling game expands on my navigation of multiple cultures as a Chinese adoptee growing up in a Korean-American household. It also draws from fieldwork I conducted within the Shanghai adoptee community in the Fall of 2021. Each chapter presents the user with a simple task, paying homage to iconic game styles of the 90s, while at the same time being a metaphor for one of the many challenges of juggling cultures.
