Persis Play have announced that Fatherhood, their upcoming narrative-driven 2.5D side-scrolling war adventure will soon launch its Kickstarter campaign.
Fatherhood tells the story of a father trying to protect his blind daughter in the middle of a collapsing city. Inspired by This War of Mine, Inside, and The Last of Us, the game explores the emotional reality of civilian survival in war.
The project was inspired by a real viral video from the Syrian conflict, where a father taught his daughter to laugh at the sound of bombings to protect her from fear. That moment shaped the core vision of Fatherhood: how far a parent will go to preserve a child’s sense of safety when the world is falling apart.
Players guide the child through danger using hand-holding and hugging mechanics, while facing critical decisions — often acts of sacrifice — that directly shape how the daughter experiences the world.
Kickstarter Campaign
The Kickstarter campaign is approaching, and the pre-launch page is now live. Early support is crucial for the campaign’s visibility and momentum.
