Dot's Home

Rise-Home Stories Project

About this game

DOT’S HOME is a single-player, 2D, narrative-driven video game that follows a young Black woman in Detroit living in her grandmother’s beloved home, as she travels through time to relive key moments in her family’s history where race, place, and home collide in difficult choices.

As an interactive experience, DOT’S HOME allows players to see the harmful systems that dictate our relationship to race and place, through the eyes of those that are most impacted. By inserting the player into scenarios where they have to make choices about how and where to live in the midst of redlining, urban renewal, and gentrification, we ask a fundamental question: “How did your family end up where they are today, and how much choice did they really have in that journey?”

DOT’S HOME is a production of the Rise-Home Stories project: a creative collaboration between multimedia storytellers and housing and land justice advocates who have come together over the course of three years, to reimagine the past, present, and future of our communities by transforming the stories we tell about them.

Ratings and reviews

I'm stuck. I've found dads wallet and I thought I have it to him and then had to put the game down. I picked the game back up a day or so later and dad just keeps asking me for his wallet. it's not in my inventory. help. I love this game.

Very nice and interesting game. I'm glad it lets you see the other ending at the end of the game without you having to play it all over again. The art was very pretty and the story was sweet.

I like the visuals, story and heavy theme but the bugs short gameplay and few mechanics is the part that was the problem
