Point And Click: Trauma
Designed for a "mature audience", Trauma explores the dreams of a young woman who was injured in a car accident and is recovering in a hospital. Players learn about the woman's identity and how she's dealing with the loss of her parents through her different dreams. The point and click adventure game presents a series of photographs that players can zoom in, pan around, and investigate with different mouse gestures.
Developer Krystian Majewski, currently a student at Köln International School of Design, describes Trauma: "It builds upon this established formula by introducing a gesture-based interface, real-time 3D technology for dynamic level layouts, unique photographic visuals and a level design philosophy that focuses on creating a rich experience rather than an elaborate puzzle challenge."
Majewski hopes to make the Flash game available online for free before the end of 2009. You can read more about Trauma and sign-up for newsletter updates here.

I hope they aren't using the ESRB's Orwellian definition of "mature".

Hahaha. No, there is no violence, no naked people and no cursing in the game. But there is some blood and there are inner organs... but not in a gory way *tease*. ;-)

Well, this certainly looks beautiful and intriguing; just when my fingers are getting sore from all the hand wringing I do about how few sincere attempts there are at using games for legitimate storytelling and art, you have to go and make this.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to it.
