Disconnected is my graduate project during my study at NFTS. It is a narrative documentary game (PC) that makes players experience the life of an autistic girl through metaphorical game mechanics and real-life interviews as voice-over.

  

I was responsible for all the game design, code and most of the art (worked with a composer and a sound designer, and two artists helped a little bit).

   

When we say autistic people have difficulties putting themselves in other people's shoes, have you ever put yourself into autistic people's shoes? Disconnected gives you the chance to do that.

 

We showcased the demo at EGX 2019 and received very positive feedback:
