Really interesting content. I like the variety of frameworks you presented to start conversations about difficult topics. The tone feels like a good mix of melancholy and hopeful, which fits the Jam Theme perfectly.
Game Poems? Maybe. I don’t think English has a word for what this is without resting on jargon or vagueness. More encompassing than a game; more art installation than poem. This will be coming with me camping and we’ll see what it could be called framed by a small wilderness fire.

A campfire is a wonderful setting for AFTERPARTY v2! Please do let me know your thoughts after playing. I use the term "game poem" after a TTRPG form out of Norway, and I don't speak Norwegian! There is a small community of English games in the Norwegian style. This website was hugely helpful in the development of AFTERPARTY: https://norwegianstyle.wordpress.com/

Thank you :> It's a tone I often try to strike with my art. It feels honest to me.
"Playful bereavement" is such a striking and pleasant concept, and something my culture gravely (ha) lacks. I love it!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you found the games to be useful!
