Our take on Tender Loving Care

Rather than centering on exploration or combat, this adventure uses a feature-length film, character judgments, and psychological tests as its structure. Viewer responses shape the narrative and ending, making participation in the story's assessments central to the experience.

What is Tender Loving Care?

Tender Loving Care combines a feature-length film with interactive navigation.

Between scenes, Dr. Turner asks viewers to assess the behavior of three characters: his patient, her husband, and a psychiatric nurse. Responses shape how the story unfolds and its final outcome. Viewers also take Thematic Apperception Tests, with results forming a personal psychological profile that accumulates during the film and concludes with an analysis. The experience casts the viewer in several roles, including observer, detective, judge, and patient.
