About This Demo

The Charity Shop is an atmospheric, surreal, walking sim puzzle game where you use your camera to capture the essence of a life lived.

To this end, you have been delivered to The Charity Shop, the place where people donate unwanted belongings—each carrying an imprint of the time they once shared.

• Clutch at permanence.

• Kick your feet against the rising tide.

• When your head is under, it will be over.

"Everything here is in a state of flux—the negative space between owners. From one owner to the next, we're here to help pass the baton."

"People always have things to donate—whether the owners have outlived their belongings, or their belongings have outlived them, we're always getting different things."

Features

• Use your digital camera to take photographs capturing the essence of a life lived, through objects once owned.

• Uncover and interpret your own meaning behind these objects by solving their puzzles.

• Preserve these memories forever. Someone needs to remember...

The Charity Shop Demo has around 20 minutes of gameplay. It contains the intro to the game, and 2 playable levels out of 8 in the full game. Progress can be transferred between the demo and the full game.
