Lockdown

Description

Lockdown is a short interactive narrative game about surviving a week of isolation by engaging in simple, everyday routines. Players inhabit a small bedroom space and must complete basic tasks like eating, napping, attending online classes, and more, to keep their mental and physical health in check.

There’s no dramatic conflict or high-stakes crisis. Instead, the game focuses on the quiet effort of making it through the day, one action at a time. Players must find a sustainable rhythm, navigating feelings of stagnation, restlessness, and fatigue while trying to stay grounded through repetition and care.

Inspired by the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Lockdown reflects the personal experiences of many students, as well as the universal struggles of isolation, time management, and maintaining health while confined indoors. The first-person perspective heightens the feeling of immersion and offers a more personal connection to the gameplay experience. The game highlights how even the most ordinary choices can feel weighty, and how survival sometimes means simply showing up for yourself.
