An Aspie Life is an experimental adventure game that deals with the topic of Asperger’s Syndrome. The game is centred around having to live with autism, and it is developed by Bradley Hennessey and Joe Watson. The players actions in the game will have to adapt to how an autistic person sees the world. As every element of this game recreates how some people with autism perceive the world, therefore all forms of sound, graphics and interactions are intentional.
All character in An Aspie Life are black outlines. By doing this, players can’t read body language. Just like someone with autism. You must try and figure out how to respond with limited vocabulary. This represents the difficulty Aspies have in putting thoughts into sentences that people can understand.
Also in conversations, the player’s feeling meters of stress, happiness, courage and uneasiness will affect how a conversation plays out. If you get stuck in the game, check out the video walkthrough and gameplay for the game.
