About the Hidden Hero and their story
This game tells a story that is a very common scene in East Asian families, and perhaps in the United States as well. Through this game I hope to make people l understand their moms, because many people actually don't pay much attention to what their moms have done, but rather take everything they do as an obligation. Our moms love us but maybe don't know how to love. I want to use this game to encourage people to communicate, understand and tolerate. This story comes from a real experience of me and my group members, and we dig deeper into the things behind this to tell this story. I think that our family is our hidden hero!
