Childmare

Childmare is an atmospheric adventure game that depicts the fantasies and fears of a child. Players accompany the child on a journey through his dreams and nightmares, which unfold in a playful world. The goal is to follow the storyline and collect 12 additional puzzle pieces, solve small puzzles, master platform challenges and escape a nightmare. My approach for this game was to depict a childlike universe, using certain children's instruments (Triola, children's glockenspiel and other plastic instruments) without going too far into childish aesthetics, because the game takes us back to childhood fears and traumas, which led me to combine two different tones: childlike dreams and distressing nightmares.
