About The Housewife
The Housewife is a game about domestic abuse, following an unnamed housewife through a day in her life. She wants to please her husband and maintain the home, and has lost sight of the world beyond him, her children and the house. She believes her husband beats her only when she disappoints him.
A life shaped by abuse
The game explores how the world changes for a person experiencing abuse and looks at the victim’s psyche through artistic and metaphorical design choices. Its story focuses on a middle-class housewife and the psychological impact of her situation.
Housework and dreams
You take on the housewife’s role and do household tasks such as cleaning, hanging washing and sweeping dirt. In her dreams, she does housework in fantasy worlds; these dreams appear as challenges in the game. The game also features an original soundtrack.
