Tall Trees is a video game of the psychological genre, in which the first-person character is slowly revealed to be the villain. The game tells the tale of a reporter who goes into a forest in search of supernatural activity and finds a range of ghosts along the way.

With a focus on guilt and empathy, my work examines how we may unwillingly exploit those around us (living or dead) when we focus too much on our own narrative. Will you flee, or push forward, hurting those around you?
