Description
Subdivision is a small, three-part exploration of grief. There is a short, interactive narrative about the friction between compartmentalizing grief and remaining present in that feeling. A daily mode provides a small, one-screen narrative that unfolds across 10 days and is centered in observation on how others relate to one another. Finally, there's a jukebox "zen" mode with a microgame. Hop in, chase squirrels, and think about those you love. I hope you enjoy Subdivision.
