Tribute

A lonely game about loss, dedicated to Mary Cousins.

Tribute is a lonely game in which you explore love, loss, and permanence using a discarded or scavenged bone, found objects and artistry, and the daily weather’s fickle oracle. A single player will start by focusing on a lingering loss of love (fictional or real) and create a tribute to that loss by decorating the bone.

Please take care while playing Tribute, it can be emotionally straining. I recommend the Script Change toolbox for support, as well as reaching out to others and professional support. Grief is traumatic, do not belittle that, even for yourself.

Tribute can take up to 15 days to play, but only for short periods each day.

This game is dedicated in memory of my grandmother, Mary Cousins, who I mourned before she died for reasons that I struggle to reconcile. She loved flowers, food, and family. This is my tribute.
