The Grief of Quetzalcoatl

Game Information

Short Introduction: 
"The ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow." - Carl Jung The Grief of Quetzalcoatl is a metaphorical game where players have to guide the main characters through a series of memories to confront the haunting "Ghosts of the Past". Players have to Absorb the ghosts to overcome them, however, absorbing Ghosts damages the player but also raises their maximum health in the long run, in reference to the rather ambivalent nature of facing up to one's inner Ghosts. Coupled with a reinterpretation of the Quetzalcoatl legend, the game spurs players to ponder deeper about the game's metaphorical meaning through its mechanics and its meaning.

Shepherd

Game Information
Short Introduction: 
Shepherd is a game of releasing the remaining ghost of an extinct humanity after an unknown apocalyptic event in a randomly generated world. To release a ghost the player listens to the ghost's final, obsessive thought and then must find an opposing or complementary thought from a second ghost and then give that to the first ghost to balance them. Whenever the player takes a memory from a ghost, that ghost is stuck forever on Earth, so decisions must be made! The player "wins" when five ghosts have been freed, but it is unclear as to whether this is, in fact, a final victory, or simply a futile but caring attempt to help some while inevitably hindering others.
