Dot's Home

Dot's Home is a single-player, 2D narrative game about a young Black woman living in her grandmother’s beloved home in Detroit. She travels through time to relive key moments in her family’s history, where race, place and home shape difficult choices.

Choices across generations

You make decisions about how and where to live amid redlining, urban renewal and gentrification. Through the experiences of those most affected, the game explores the systems that shape relationships with race and place, and asks how much choice families have had in where they end up.

Rise-Home Stories

Dot's Home is part of the Rise-Home Stories project, a collaboration between multimedia storytellers and housing and land justice advocates. The project reimagines the past, present and future of communities by changing the stories told about them.
