Mechanics

In Land of Screens we observe the action from the side. During the game, we are primarily engaged in conversations; in this way we not only push the story forward, but also help Holland to make new friends and renew old friendships with people who have not been seen for years. All this so that the girl can forget about the recent break-up and the "drama" caused by it in her social media.

This is not easy, because in the game world everyone is staring at the screen of their smartphone, tablet, computer and TV. The protagonist must therefore first make sure that the people she needs to try to "log out to life". However, this is not the end of the challenges she has to face. Holland goes to an event full of strangers, a professional conference and family meetings, and also takes part in outdoor events. Each of these events is an opportunity to meet new people and have the face-to-face conversations that a girl needs... However, she must first dare to do so.
