Charlotte

Charlotte is a game about the 19th century writer and suffragist, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and her famous short horror story, the Yellow Wall-paper. Part walking simulator and part exploration game, Charlotte puts players into the role of a 19th century woman undergoing the rest cure for hysteria. What is it like to live in a world that restricts your agency? Where you can't vote? Where you are thought to be less intelligent? Has the world gone mad? Or is it you? Charlotte is a narrative video game. There are no goals but puzzles are used to structure the exploration of the environment. Experience the narrative through enacted and environmental storytelling as you explore the mysteries of the mansion.
