And I Must Scream is an action horror game that is also a commentary over accepting trauma and grief The game is a figment of imagination of a young boy who has lost his mother. He sees the real world differently. He perceives things differently. The game has two core mechanics; push and channel. Push is representation of pushing feelings and trauma away, while channel is a representation of accepting those feelings, so as to find the truth. The player goes through this world using these two abilities to find the truth. The game runs on a 3minute time loop. So every time the timer ends the player restarts, but their progress on channeled objects is saved. This 3 minute timer represents the 3 minutes before he lost his mother. The story is exposed in a form of poetry, channeling objects gives rise to these poetic pieces. Our goal is to make an emotionally charging game that sends out of message on acceptance of feelings, even the most difficult ones.
