"In the spring of 2004 in Indiana, billions of 17-year Great Eastern Cicadas emerged. That same spring, a child died when his perfectly imperfect heart gave out. This session talks about how a development team created a game about a mother’s journey through grief alongside the cicadas.

Speakers:
Kimberly Hieftje, Asher Marks, and Andrew Schartmann
