7 itemsAbout the Game
"The Bear" is a 40-minute bedtime story experience, for everyone.
This short and meaningful game might just be the break you need. "The Bear" is an interactive bedtime story for grown-ups young at heart, lovingly crafted with hundreds of hand drawn animations. All aspects of the game are designed to lull you to sleep: The muted, calm colors become warmer over time, the stunning sound track is soft and calming, the interactions intentionally slow you down.
The games secret power lies in its emotionally touching story.
Beware, it might make you cry.
Transport yourself to the atmospheric and poetic World of Gra - a world full of tiny planets, fish that swim through space and lamps that grow like plants.
You guide two characters, the bear and the little one, from planet to planet and experience their journey and growing friendship. Drag the bear and tap for the little one to make both characters move and help each other out.
Meet different beings of the World of Gra and experience stories about friendship, loss, and finding a place you belong.
It's a unique, calming experience, that feels like a bedtime story, read to you by a loved one.
Based on an interactive media project at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.
