Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
The theme was represented through reflection and near-connection, two versions of the same person moving through the same space, shaped by opposing traits. The split screen and mirrored characters symbolize inner conflict, burnout, and self-expectation. One side seeks clarity and perfection, while the other embraces instability and force. Neither can progress alone. The image of two hands almost touching is reflected in both gameplay and narrative. Progress is only possible when both sides work together. The ending resolves this tension through self-acceptance, where the two halves finally connect and become whole.
