Telomere explores the feeling of helplessness that hits us all at one time or another.

Set across multiple themes and questions, the game aims to ultimately make a player feel connected with the present. Everything we do is important, but perhaps everything we don’t do is actually even more important.

People have dreams, hopes and goals, so how does it feel to let go, and let our dreams fade?

Every moment in life is an opportunity could have lead to a billion outcomes, can we acknowledge the lives we could have had? How can people regain a sense of hope, even if it feels like all is lost?
