I'm in the very very early stages of making a game, which centers around the life of an elderly person, I can't go into details mainly to protect my games idea.
What I'm mostly curious about is how you would feel being in the shoes of someone who has already lived their life, you don't have any exceptional goals, it's not going to be high octane, there won't be a sense of achievement in the same way most games hold. Would you play something like that? Its more of a walking sim in nature as I think that's most fitting and im leaning more towards 2.5D design does that sound any bit interesting?
I find that they're an under represented group in games, often a supporting character, rarely the core and I want to shine a spotlight on the group of people we all eventually become. I am also curious what games might already utilities the idea of an elderly main character if you know any that I might've missed in my research I'd love to know!
