Marija

Marija is an RPG game, where you play as a young girl who gives birth to a monstrous stillborn at your friend, Lorelei’s sleepover. Ashamed, and scared, with the help of your friends' stuffed animals, your goal is to discard it before anyone discovers what's happened. The game is alluding to the Christian themes, as well as others like adolescence, puberty, sex, family violence, and substance abuse. The game is largely based on my own preadolescents, and the relationship I had with God, my friends, my family, and especially my body. 

Created for SJSU's DMA BFA exhibition. 

Warning: Mentions of sexual assault.
