Descriptions:

20 Years is an atmospheric narrative puzzler where sound and touch are your only compass. Step into a crumbling dreamscape to bridge the gap between two timelines, following the echoes of wind chimes to reunite with a memory long forgotten.


Vision:

The Theme: We chose to explore the "blurred space" between wanting to reach out and actually making contact. To touch is a physical act, but it’s also how we perceive the world—feeling warmth, pressure, and texture. When we can see, our eyes and hands work together to create a lasting impression in our minds. But what if that sight is gone?

The Experience: We found that when people are blindfolded, their hearing and touch naturally sharpen. They move more carefully, reaching out to feel the edges of their surroundings to understand where they are. We want to simulate this sense of touch to let you "feel" your way through this story.

The Connection: This longing to touch exists between the girl and her late mother. For instance, when she falls toward a cliff's edge, it is her mother’s hand that catches her. It also exists between her past and present self—the sounds she hears from her childhood memories help her find the path forward today. In her dreams, touching an object briefly brings its vivid colors back to life. These connections may not be "real" in the physical sense, but they reach across time and space.

Our goal is to let you perceive a familiar world through a new lens, and in doing so, we hope to touch your heart.
