About the Game

Overview

In Asian folklore it is said that when there's a funeral you don't sing, don't play, and most importantly “Don't Disturb”!

In the traditionally timid and reserved cultures of Asia how do people approach and accept the idea of “death”? What is the "afterlife"?

“Don't Disturb” is a single-player puzzle adventure game with a beautiful and unique 2D style. The carefully crafted story explores the traditional Asian views on the afterlife and the underworld. You must explore this mysterious world as a dog, looking for its owner who has passed away. The dog will need to solve many puzzles and make it through unexpected encounters as it makes its way to the “Bridge of Helplessness” in search of its owner. On the way you will need to make decisions that will determine how the tale ends.

“Don't Disturb” is an unforgettable and gorgeous story that players will both relate to and be surprised by.

Just remember…“Don't Disturb”!
