Lachrymatory
Selected game project for
2022 Unfold X Programme
There is a world where stars are unknown.
With no stars to look
upon for direction,
many people in that world are lost
during the darkest hours of
time.
That world wanders in aimless directions,
without a proper definition for justice.
And the victim and
perpetrator
both live inside their prisons. There is no
restoration for anyone
and people bear the weight of their
lachrymatory.
Their version of justice is a one
especially
harsh on their youth.
But here is one boy, one boy who has
gone through his rites of
passage,
bringing death to the old world
bringing birth to a
new world.
A once nameless boy who had lost his way,
a once
motherless boy who knew of no stars
journeyed deep into the wombs
of the Lachrymatory
gaining a name, gaining a star.
And now
that star shines in its skies.
It is our hope that here,
where the virtual world ends
and
the real world begins,
those stars will continue to shine brightly
upon the dark night sky.
