To Ash - A Hero in Decline
Eye spotted on The Next Web, an article about a game named To Ash, where your hero does not grwo stronger, but weaker. This, to teach people about the acceptance of mortality.
Quote:
Kyle Ballentine is a behavioral therapist from California who’s just made a role-playing game for Windows and Mac called ‘To Ash.’
Traditionally, the protagonists in games gain strength and power as you progress. ‘To Ash’ is a little different though; the main character starts out strong and loses his power and agility as time passes.
Why? Because Ballentine wanted to create a game with a very specific purpose – to teach people about the acceptance of mortality.
