Memories From Home is narrative experience created for the Jamsepticeye Game Jam 2025 with the theme “death is an opportunity.” The project explores grief, memory, and reconnection through quiet, reflective interaction.
Upon hearing the theme I wanted to created something unique so I focused on death as an opportunity to reconnect with your family and loved ones. Partially inspired by the game "unpacking", the player returns to their childhoom home aftr the passing of their parents and unpacks boxes filled with mementos and memories. Each item triggers a short narrative vignette that reveals something about the family and their relationships.
This was a fully solo project developed in just three days. I handled all aspects of production, including gameplay design, programming, sound design, and overall narrative structure.
Visual assets were sourced from free libraries, allowing me to focus entirely on pacing, tone, and emotional impact. I built the full level including all the effects, interactions, and narrative scripting in Unity. The majority of my time over the jam was spent refining the writing and placement of objects to create an engaging experience and an impactful story. I believe this project showcases my ability to create meaningful experiences through thoughtful design and storytelling.
