Meine Oma(88)
Meine Oma(88) is an immersive, non-linear exploration adventure that delves into the gripping world of transgenerational trauma linked to perpetrators in Nazi Germany. Play "The Stanley Parable", but against your own family history and break a repetitive story loop, as in the interactive thriller "12 Minutes".
Step into the shoes of a curious young woman, on a quest to uncover her family's hidden past. With a determined visit to her grandmother, she embarks on a journey through her grandmother's old stories. But she soon realises that passive listening will only lead to more of the same. It's time to take charge and intervene. Uncover the untold secrets within and discover the deep connections between your grandmother's past, your mother and your own existence.
Prepare to transcend time itself, navigate through compelling narratives, solve intricate puzzles, bridge gaps between eras, and seamlessly move between stories. Your goal is to unlock the dark secrets buried in your ancestors' past and discover the deep connection to your own identity.
It's time to defy your family's imposed narrative and forge your own path to truth and understanding - It's time to act against the family narrative!BackgroundIn Meine Oma (88), a struggling old woman shares her personal memories with her granddaughter. As she delves deeper into the stories, the granddaughter begins to notice inconsistencies and gaps. While the granddaughter discovers more of her family's past, and more of the lies and ambiguous truths she has been told, she unravels the deep trauma of the past and its continuing impact on her life today.
Transgenerational trauma is a relatively new field of research and an important social issue. It has been identified as a result of particularly traumatic events. As a German game development team, it is especially important for us to discuss how the experience of Nazi Germany as perpetrators could have an impact on our behavior through transgenerational trauma, even today.
The name we have chosen for the game, Meine Oma (88) - which literally means My Grandma (88) - is a direct reference to the topic of how Nazi ideology continues to exist, concealed in our societies. The game offers a personal experience of a granddaughter with her beloved grandmother, who is still directly influenced by National Socialist ideology today.
