About the Game

A 2d Cave Escape game.

Having people on their phone all day long is damaging the relationships. Instead of talking to someone face-to-face and hanging out, people prefer just texting or going on a social network. This is making everyone alone. In this game, the negative impact of using a phone all day long is highlighted.

Once upon a time, there was a small town. People of the town were happy together. One day a ghost came to the town and gave everyone a phone and got their hearts in exchange. Thereafter, everyone was busy on their phone all day long. Everyone in the town became alone, heartless like the ghost.

A radio in a family used to witness the joy of a little kid, when his sister, father, mother were playing with him. After exchanging their hearts with the phones, the family of the kid were busy with the phones all day long. No one there to play with him, look after him. We thought the radio was a machine, a heartless object. But, watching the kid alone, the radio couldn't hold his tears. He followed the ghost and found that the ghost hid all the hearts in a cave. The radio promised to bring back all the hearts, joy and happiness and thus the game began.
