About the Game

Playground

You are a little boy on a playground in the early 2000s. Mum called you for dinner, but you want to keep going. The day is nice and warm. It's summer break. You slide a little bit and dig a hole in the sand. It's a lot of joy, but there is something suspicious on the playground. You are alone. Why are there no other kids?

KEY FEATURES

  • Manage your Joy and Trauma 

  • Investigate which rides and toys are safe to get some joy for you and your mum

  • Take some fun rides

  • Solve puzzles and quests to get some sweet rewards

  • Dive into a unique, nostalgic atmosphere

The plot

Mr. Best wants the best for you and your mum, so he is going to demolish your old house, along with all the old houses around your yard. Why? To build new skyscrapers, some people will be evicted, sure, but you and your mum will have a new apartment. 

During 20 in-game days, you will be able to go along with Mr. Best or ruin his plans. 

Rides

The playground is full of rides - some dangerous, some really fun. You must investigate the rides before boarding. 

At the end of your day, you have to give your joy to your depressed mum. You start the new day drained, and you have to get some joy on the playground.
