Exploration of life and death
Writer Dagmar remembered a vivid dream in which she’d died, still drifting through the rooms of her house watching the people who’d remained behind. She stayed with them every night, wishing for them to feel her presence. That feeling of not being seen anymore, of having been torn away from the people you love without the hope of ever returning to them … became the inspiration for Ghost on the Shore.
Ghost on the Shore is scheduled to be released in Q4, 2020 for the Windows PC.
