Hi! So, I've not really touched this website for years. It's fallen into disrepair and it would be irresponsible of me to pretend I'll ever have time to work on it again.

So, I'm going to mothball the site/set it to read-only. I've disabled the login links because they stopped working any I don't remember enough about how the site works to figure out how to fix them.

If any thing *really* needs updating (deadnaming-level stuff), let me know and I'll go in on the backend and make changes.

Description

by Eva Schiffer, Kathleen De Smet, Quinn D, Katie Giacomini and Gaylord Tang (Peaky 2016)

It’s been three years since Grandma Dot’s cancer diagnosis, and the last two annual family beach parties have been centered on her long—and happy—goodbyes. Now she’s passed away in a hospital far from home. Rather than turn her body over to the usual pipeline of hospital to funeral home to cemetery, the family stole it and drove off in their RV to take her home and decide what to do. Grandma’s Resting Place is a game about sharing and reliving memories spanning three generations set in a realistic modern time. It is a serious game including a mix of joyful, funny, and sad memories. The focus is on the roleplay of the characters involved, with no goals. This game will use a few flashback scenes as well a monologues by the memory of Grandma Dot. Content warning: This game has themes including lack of respect for the dead, death of family members, terminal cancer, divorce, neglectful parenting,
