History
In the Keeper’s Shadow is a fantastical retelling of co-founder Jessica Fong’s visionary world and her portfolio of over 10 years of work expressing her family’s struggle to confront their history with child abuse.
The founders wish to create something meaningful from this darker chapter of her life and have the confidence to share these creative mindscapes with others. The game is a needed cathartic release for those closest to the work and who want greater awareness of the signs and consequences of child abuse.
