You Were Somewhere Else Just Now, Weren't You?

Janelle Agyemang

If given the opportunity to change your reality, would you? ‘You Were Somewhere Else Just Now, Weren’t You?’ is a choose-your-own adventure style visual novel that invites the player to escape from a mundane life through the practice of reality-shifting. Players are advised to tread carefully, for as the line between realities becomes blurred, they will be forced to confront the consequences of rejecting the world around them.

Fabrics are sewn together to represent the essence of specific memories, some as simple as roasting marshmallows during camping trips to the many hopscotches created with her grandfather to the homes she grew up in.

Certain patterns also represent members of her family, including those that are gone but never forgotten.
