About the Game

DISCLAIMER: This game deals with sensitive topics such as grief, depression, and death.

Moving On follows Addison, a high school graduate, as they help their recently-deceased mother move on to the Spirit World. In this 2D visual narrative and platformer, Addison must explore and find special objects while being confronted with a journey of grief. Experience Addison’s story as they learn to process their emotions and move on from the death of a loved one.

PLATFORMER AND VISUAL NARRATIVE

Addison must traverse a range of environments as they jump across different landscapes, solve puzzles, and interact with locals in hopes of finding these “special objects.”

A STORY OF GRIEF AND HEALING

Addison must face areas that are associated with different emotions and feelings, such as Depression, Independence, and Anger. Will Addison be able to come to acceptance over their mom’s passing? Will Addison’s mom be able to move on with no regrets?

ADDISON’S NEW PERSPECTIVE

In addition to Addison being able to interact with others in their world, Addison suddenly has the power to see ghosts waiting to move on. They can interact with ghosts, hearing about their backstories and learning more about the Spirit World.

Visit the local cemetery to keep in touch with your ghost relatives and unlock more stories from them!

PERSONAL TOUCH

When Addison visits their local cemetery, you (the player) have an option to input your own personal story of loss. Don’t worry, they won’t be shared with anybody— just yourself. Use this area to help reflect on your own personal experiences.
