The Dear Games Collaboration between Georgia Tech Game Studio and Charis Circle is proud to present a curation of games by digital artist Nina Freeman (http://ninasays.so). 6 of Nina's games will be on display in an arcade cabinet designed and developed by Georgia Tech students. The games are free to play and open to the public. Starting at 8 PM, join us for a Q&A session over Skype with Nina in NYC.
THE GAMES:
1 // MY HOUSE MY RULES
—My House My Rules is a game about a little girl and her snack stash. Her moms don't allow snacks, so she has to sneak around the house and save them for later.
2 // FRESHMAN YEAR
—Freshman Year, which features art by Laura Knetzger, follows Nina as she heads to a bar to meet a friend who won't respond to her texts.
3 // SPACE DAD
—A little girl wonders where her dad is. He's not home much. He's a truck driver, traveling far and wide.
4 // LADYLIKE
—In Ladylike, you control a conversation between a young girl and her mother during a drive to the mall. The conversation always leads to a disappointing finale.
5 // A PRETTY ORNAMENT I MADE
—Based off a poem Nina wrote in 2011, a young girl quickly assembles ornaments as an argument between her parents rapidly escalates.
6 // HOKUTO NO HUCHEN
—The inspiration for this game comes from a fishing trip Nina went on with her dad. He caught a sunfish and thought it would be funny to swing it around on the line.
