That Dragon, Cancer
Slotting into a similar play-in-one-sitting template as Gone Home, Numinous Games’ That Dragon, Cancer is a poignant and story-driven experience that crams more emotional punch into two hours than some titles manage in entire games or multi-episode arcs.
Centering on one man’s four-year battle against cancer – the crippling illness that affects so many across the globe – Numinous’ release delves into existential themes of faith, love and what it means to be human, resulting in a relatively competent and poetic experience that ought to be enjoyed with a stiff drink.
What The Dragon, Cancer lacks in length it more than makes up for in rich, evocative storytelling, and Joel Green’s harrowing and at times touching journey will stay with you long after the credits roll.
