About the Game

She Could Fly: Documentary Escape Game is a point and click game with looping levels, which features comics, documentaries and gaming to explore OCD and anxiety. You become trapped in a flat and are forced to figure out how to escape.

In this lo-fi game your guide is narrator TIGER ORCHID - a Twitch/ YouTube style narrator who is with you all the way. Played by Shaniqua Okwok (Small Axe, It's a Sin) Tiger Orchid helps to steer you through the gameplay.

BACKGROUND
Inspired by the acclaimed comic book She Could Fly written by Christopher Cantwell (Halt and Catch Fire, Iron Man, Dr Doom) who lives with OCD and illustrated by Martín Morazzo (Ice Cream Man) the game features artwork from the comic, which is published by Berger Books (Dark Horse), helmed by the legendary comic editor Karen Berger (Vertigo/DC).

The creative team include those with lived experience of OCD. We have developed the game with scientists, OCD Action and 10+ people with lived experience of OCD to inform the game design and create a global engagement campaign to shift how we think about OCD and mental health.

This not-for-profit game is produced by Wowbagger Productions in association with Two Tails Studios and Oubliette Escapes. The project is funded by Academy of Medical Sciences, Arts Council England, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Physiological Society and UK Games Fund.
