## About This Game
DOT’S HOME is a single-player, 2D, narrative-driven video game that follows a
young Black woman in Detroit living in her grandmother’s beloved home, as she
travels through time to relive key moments in her family’s history where race,
place, and home collide in difficult choices.
As an interactive experience, DOT’S HOME allows players to see the harmful
systems that dictate our relationship to race and place, through the eyes of
those that are most impacted. By inserting the player into scenarios where
they have to make choices about how and where to live in the midst of
redlining, urban renewal, and gentrification, we ask a fundamental question:
“How did your family end up where they are today, and how much choice did they
really have in that journey?”
DOT’S HOME is a production of the Rise-Home Stories project: a creative
collaboration between multimedia storytellers and housing and land justice
advocates who have come together over the course of three years, to reimagine
the past, present, and future of our communities by transforming the stories
we tell about them.
