About This Game

"This is where we go to remember our son Joel, up through here along this path. We want to show you who he was, and how his life changed us. Can we walk here together for a while?"

A videogame developer's love letter to his son; an immersive narrative driven experience to memorialize Joel Green and, through his story, honor the many he represents. That Dragon, Cancer is a poetic and playful interactive retelling of Joel’s 4-year fight against cancer.

Using a mix of first-person and third-person perspective, and point-and-click interaction, this two-hour narrative experience invites the player to slow down and immerse themselves in a deeply personal memoir featuring audio taken from home videos, spoken word poetry, and themes of faith, hope, despair, helplessness and love, along with in-game tributes to the loved ones of over 200 of our Kickstarter backers.

Can you find hope in the face of death?

Note: Thank You For Playing is an independent project, produced and directed by Malika Zouhali-Worrall and David Osit. The Green family along with the rest of the Numinous team did not produce the film, but they are very honored to be the subjects of the film.

The story was a 10/10 but it was so short that I beat it and then refunded it cuz I had less than 2 hours on the game. I was at the verge of tears on that one scene (the one called [spoiler]I'm Sorry Guys, It's Not Good[/spoiler]) which very few games have done. To everyone who's played Before Your Eyes, I would say this game is sadder but only because this is actually the story of something that truly happened to someone. Imo Before Your Eyes is superior. [spoiler] Why do all Joels end up dying????? [/spoiler]
