Originally, the concept stemmed from my desire and interest in alternative game experiences. I knew I wanted to create a mix-media experience which elements would work symbiotically together. Going over alternative controllers, and other media, I wanted to explore note-booking as a core element of the game-play liking the clash between the virtual space and the more traditional pages of the journal.

​

This choice also made sense with the themes I wanted to tackle in my pitch which were : heritage, grief and legacy. My family having a tradition of journaling, it seemed coherent to use a physical space as a narrative and characterization tool for the game, an extension of the grandmother's personality.
