About the Hidden Hero and their story
I picked both of my parents as my hidden heroes. I love them both to bits and they really inspire and encourage me to be who I am in life. I feel like I can always rest on their shoulders. I decided to make a game about my little sister, who unfortunately passed away in 2006 right after birth. I want to keep her memory alive using my little game. I always feel so bad for her. A developed human being just thrown away, not even given a chance at life. That’s also what I made the game about: making choices that are ultimately just meaningless. Her death was also an incredibly hard moment for my parents. Even though they were scared of it happening again, they kept trying to get a second child. They never gave up, and now I have an amazing brother. I am so grateful for that.
