ANIMATE

In short

A game made as a gift for one person. An interview with my partner found the real problem behind a to-do list, so instead of rewarding finished chores, ANIMATE gives everyday objects spirits to look after, with voice-acted lines. The playtest showed the trade-off: the deeper the play, the less of the task got done.
