Returning Home: A Storytelling Game about Family Conflicts
Returning Home is a collaborative storytelling game that explores conflicts with one’s family of origin. Split into four distinct chapters, the players travel from the city where the protagonist currently lives to the place they grew up in. Along the way in each chapter, the players dive into different aspects of the conflict and eventually find a way to reconcile with their family. Written by Kelly Chang and featuring art by Lee Bear, Returning Home reminds us that reconciliation is rarely the big singular moment the media tells us, but is instead a long journey we must explore.
