"YOUR FUTURE (GAME)" is a transmedia project exploring the world of zodiac signs. What began as a rough idea for a mini game quickly evolved into a multi-faceted experience, combining a point-and-click game, a short film, and self-made merchandise. Developed alongside my collaborator Petra Stipetic, the project delves into the lives and struggles of the personified zodiacs, revealing how their stories intertwine. Both the game and the film offer a richly layered narrative that invites the audience to explore the unique challenges and relationships of each zodiac sign. "YOUR FUTURE (GAME)" received accolades at the FiSH Festival in Rostock and won the Hessian Film Prize in the "Short Film" category, and was awarded the predicate "wertvoll" by the FBW, recognizing its artistic and narrative achievements.
