We set up our player’s character as a person who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Every memory in each room is his/her former experience. And the game is designed to help him/her recall and retrieve lost memories.
Why do we choose to focus on people with Alzheimer’s disease?
- To call attention to Alzheimer’s disease and this group of people, and give them more love and care.
The Economist describes the disease as a ‘global emergency’. The number of people with Alzheimer’s disease is increasing not only in the elderly but also in the young in recent years. And the patients need more care and love because Alzheimer’s disease is one of the known incurable diseases in which people are unable to take care of themselves in later stages, which can be fatal. Moreover, it is a subject of concern, because nursing and other medical expenses are taking heavy cost on the patients’ families and also on the state’s finances. However, taking medicine could delay the development of Alzheimer’s disease if we can find out about it as soon as possible, so this is also one of the reasons that we want to call more attention to this disease and this group of people.
Why do we come up with ideas about memories?
- Alzheimer’s disease
- To make an appeal for cherishing life and memories
Memories are very precious, and it can be said that everyone has memories. So we use ‘memory’ as the touchpoint of our game to attract more people to play our games. In daily life, some people may rely on looking forward to the future to comfort their current situation of struggle, and some people may regret not treasuring the past. But each experience is precious to us no matter in the past, now or in the future. And we always get the new harvest from our experience. So, we want to make people realise that memories and experiences are precious, and then cherish their current life. Don’t wait until you miss the time and chance to know how to treasure your memories.
