saudade (viet)

A game about Jack, a detective who's trying to find a way to exit the room, but there's more than it seems... Saudade is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent somethings or someones that one cares for and/or loves while simultaneously having positive emotions towards the future. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again. It is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, and well-being, which now trigger the senses and makes one experience pain. However it acknowledges that to long for the past would detract from the excitement you feel towards the future. Saudade describes both happy and sad at the same time and is most closely translated to the English saying ‘bitter sweet’. Note: This game is currently using Vietnamese, i will update the English version sometimes in near future.
