Sdies

Sdies is an interactive animation about black-and-white thinking and contrasting emotional extremes. Through evolving gameplay, it explores self-transformation and finding balance in a world polarized visually, aurally and emotionally.

Gameplay and style

You play through tactile point-and-click interactions accompanied by monochromatic animation and adaptive jazz music. The experience explores how mental health issues and trauma can push people toward emotional extremes, and asks how outside forces shape our experiences of frighteningly dark and destructively joyful places. It also considers what happens when you choose to change yourself rather than submit to a hostile environment that consumes and changes you.
