Description

A fly-on-the-wall, immersive documentary game depicting curated snapshots from multiple cancer patient journeys.

Not Alone explores the space between documentary and game in an attempt to encourage empathy and raise awareness of the mental and physical impact of cancer diagnosis.

The intention for this project was to:

Help rationalise thoughts, emotions, and reduce feelings of loneliness through the shared experiences of other patients.
Highlight the importance of centralised social support locations such as the Maggie’s Centre and CANDU.
Have wide appeal, helping inform and engage the general public and the target user group about cancer diagnosis and ways they can support those affected.
