CONTENT FUND
Sketchbook Games
Unannounced Project
Our new project is a first-person narrative adventure that moves between the dual spaces of a real bedroom and a 2007-era chatroom. Piecing together fragments of old conversations and half remembered relationships, players gradually reconnect with friends they didn’t realise they’d lost.
Developed in collaboration with mental health researchers, the game explores themes of memory, connection and personal growth. Its aim is to create a supportive, resonant experience that fosters resilience, self understanding and meaningful reflection while offering a distinctive and nostalgic interactive world.
What they say
The UKGF Content Fund gives a small independent team like ours the time and confidence to get things right.It allows us to deep our collaboration with our research partners, lets us refine the design properly and validates that stories exploring mental health and aiming to make a positive difference to people's lives need to be told . This support is genuinely transformative for our team and project.
