Ritual of the Moon is a 28 day long multi-narrative game exploring loneliness power and healing. Once discovering her powers The Earths Council exiles the witch to the moon to live out the rest of her life looking at the earth - and the woman she loves - that she can never go back to. The player spends 5 minutes each day over the 28 days reflecting on her experiences on Earth meditating at her altar and making a life or death choice. The game is a daily meditational activity composed of a memory game drawing symbols receiving a mantra and making a decision about the future of the earth. The game tracks the decisions the player makes becoming a sort of mood tracker. Depending on their feelings over the lunar cycle the player will experience one of the six unique endings. ? Ritual of the Moon is fully created from handcrafted and found objects scanned then digitally manipulated. Each of the witchs reflections were hand-embroidered. The mantras were wood burned. The artists used paint clay fabric paper dried plants wool foam wire plastic pieces of computer hardware crystals and a variety other media. The process was long meditative and iterative. Ritual of the Moon was written and designed by Kara Stone with art and sound by Rekha Ramachandran and Julia Gingrich programmed by Chris Kerich Matthew R.F. Balousek Kevin Stone and Hope Erin Phillips and music composition by Halina Heron and Maggie McLean. ?
