Director's Statement

Mare at its minimum, meets the goal for the player to experience a unique world that will surprise his senses and pique her curiosity just by being there. The look and design hopefully create a sense of mystery and intrigue, encouraging the player to fill in the gaps with his own imagination. At the same time, trying to avoid performing any technical stunt-pilotry for the player, I rather want to slide open the door of the player’s imagination. Regarding the so-called "Story and Narrative", although present, I prefer to call it "Speculation and Compulsion". Helping the player to otherwise speculate with his own musings while also understand the impact of his own actions.
