About the game: AVA
AVA is a carefully crafted, tarot puzzle game about diversity. Follow young princess Ava on her journey to lift a curse and decide her destiny with a turn of the cards.Each level features a painting inspired by tarot cards and medieval art, which contains a puzzle for the player to solve. Shift, rotate and combine elements of the painting to solve puzzles. Solved levels can be collected as tarot cards. These cards will be used to solve later levels, adding an additional layer of complexity to the game.
AVA broaches issues of gender, discrimination, prejudice and diversity. The narrative of a young princess venturing into a magical forest to lift her curse acts as a metaphor for the feeling of belonging to a minority.
Created by a diverse team for diverse players. We spotlight talented developers and artists of different races, genders and cultures to inspire females and other minorities to consider a job in games or technology.
