DESCRIPTION
Mercy is a single-player 3D narrative game that allows the player to explore the life of a struggling mother. By stepping into the shoes of this mother, you can explore her home to be able to grasp an understanding of the home's history.
Mercy's narrative is reflective of religious trauma, and how it can affect an entire family. This narrative explores the mind of a mother who lost her family due to religious beliefs. By exploring her home, the player learns about how this loss has affected the mother.
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN GOALS
MIDDLE CLASS SUBURBAN
The structure of the environment in Mercy is referenced from middle-class suburban homes. This demographic was referenced to cater to the majority of Christian households in the United States. The household size, room decorations, and color palette all are reflective of their characteristics.
CHRISTIAN SYMBOLOGY
Christian symbolism is seen throughout the home to reference to narrative elements within the game. Items seen often throughout Christian homes are displayed such as crosses, bibles, rosaries, etc.
COMFORTABLE ATMOSPHERE
The home interior is seemingly a well-put together and clean home, giving a comforting energy upon first look. Despite the comfortable atmosphere, the underlying conditions of the home are beyond a lack of comfort.
