The Elevator

Having moved frequently as a child, my connection to "home" often felt distant. I found those memories of once-distinct spaces began to blur, overlapping in unexpected ways. Often times I wonder - Is ownership defined by walls and deeds, or does it reside in the fleeting moments and emotions that make a space feel ours?

What does it mean to own a place? 

What does it mean to belong to a space?

The feeling of belonging is about familiarity, the way a space wraps around us, holds pieces of who we are, and reflects them back to us. Perhaps, home isn’t where we stay but where we truly feel.

Designing this game was like constructing my own memory palace, letting players see how the weight of nostalgia can flood a space, and trying to embody the feeling of being both displaced and connected to something larger—an exploration of what "home" truly means.
