A game which is, for lack of a better genre, an "interactive story game" where you follow the travels of a group of children in a setting similar to the modern technological age, where the world has gotten to a point where there are so many people and so many stimuli bombarding the senses in everyday life that apathy is the reigning order of the day. You are a group of orphans who have been abandoned, parents passed away, or other hardships that led to you banding together for safety and comfort. You move through streets, subways, and cities looking for a place to stay while the masses pretend you don't exist. The game plays somewhat like a slower Dragon's Lair, made up of sequences of choices rather than direct control, and with a focus on watching and directing the story rather than playing a traditional game. The story is mainly shown rather than told, with little to no spoken or written language used, just animation and clever imagery.

The choices are made by selecting contextually highlighted areas or objects on the screen, similar to a point-and-click game. They range from deciding which directions to go in, to how to respond to hazards. One example is they're on a train, and a creep sitting on one of the sides sizes up the kids and mutters in their phone to their partner to kidnap them at the next stop, and you have a number of ways to respond to this but you won't be entirely certain what the threat is most of the time or what danger you might find by reacting in different ways e.g. getting off at the next stop, walking down to the next carriage, talking to the creep, or anything else; just a vague idea. As a result, over time as you try to escape things like traffic, predators, temptation, or anything else that could be a threat to a little one, your group will be slowly whittled down as the children meet unfortunate ends or are lost in the crowds and bustle of the modern world. The game ends when only one is left and simply fades to black.

Based off a dream I had.
