DownloadA young woman journeys through time to revisit pivotal moments in her family's past.
DOT'S HOME is a single-player, 2D narrative video game that follows a young Black woman in Detroit residing in her grandmother's cherished house. Through time travel, she witnesses critical junctures where race, location, and housing intersect, forcing difficult decisions.
This interactive experience lets players witness how systemic policies shape our relationships with race and place through the eyes of those most affected. By placing players in scenarios where they must choose how and where to live amid redlining, urban renewal, and gentrification, it raises an essential question: "How did your family arrive where they are today, and what choices did they truly have along the way?"
DOT'S HOME is produced by the Rise-Home Stories project—a creative partnership between multimedia storytellers and housing/land justice advocates. Over three years, they've collaborated to reimagine our communities' past, present, and future by transforming how we tell their stories.
