It's difficult to put into words just how important it is for stories like this to be given a platform to be heard, especially when the person who had to live through it is the one to bare it to the world. An incredibly emotional experience contextualised though a genuinely gorgeous game, by a truly brave individual I have nothing but respect and admiration for. Beautiful art style, wonderful music, amazing voice acting, all providing a bittersweet contrast to the harsh reality of a person's life we have been given permission to see.
I was sad to hear that 'The Quiet Things' trailer got pulled from the BAFTA showcase. To be told that your life experiences are too extreme to portray, that the things you went through need to be watered down and censored for the sensitivities of others, must be deeply distressing. The title of the game is very fitting in that respect, unfortunate as that is. The Quiet Things; the quiet things that happen every day, the things that people don't want to hear about, maybe because it hurts to hear, maybe because it's hard to stomach, or maybe because they just don't care. But there are those who do care, people who will listen, and with projects like this, it can only help to increase awareness.
I applaud the dev and the whole team that helped to bring this game to life.
