Child No More


Welcome to the world of Child No More. Child No More tells the story of Arya, a young girl who is torn away from her family when war breaks out in her home town. Accompanied and protected by her animal companions Arya struggles to make her way through the wreckage and carnage that is war. Arya’s only desire is to reunite with her family at her aunt’s house on the outskirts of the city. Arya’s parents have left notes for her scattered across the city that act as bread crumbs to help her find her way home to reunite with them. As Arya traverses through her broken home-town, the player will experience first hand the effects of war on the innocent mind of a child, unwillingly thrown to survive in an unforgiving environment.


First Encounter


On her 9th birthday while looking out of the window in her room, Arya spotted a beautiful fox. Arya felt as if the fox was calling out to her to follow it into the forest. Although she knew her parents wouldn’t approve, Arya snuck out the window and followed the fox into the forest. The fox led her down a steep hill toward a rushing river. As Arya climbed down the hill her foot got caught in an uprooted vine and she tumbled down the getting badly scratched and bruised on the way down. As Arya sat next to the river in tears nursing her wounds a small ferret peaks through the nearby brush and scurries over to her. The ferret climbs into Arya’s lap and comforts her as she holds it close and slowly stands to her feet. Unwilling to leave her side, Arya wipes her tears and takes her newfound friend home. A few weeks after meeting the Ferret who she named Karolina. Arya saw the majestic fox out her window once again. Arya was hesitant to follow the fox again after being hurt last time, but her curiosity wouldn’t let her resist its beauty, wondering why it keeps coming back to her. Arya snuck out of her home again, this time accompanied by Karolina and follows the fox into the forest. Arya and Albert came across a Wolf with one of its legs trapped under a log. Arya couldn't bring herself to leave the Wolf suffering. She used branches to pry the Wolf’s leg from under the branch. Just as she freed the wolf a wild boar appeared and started to charge at Arya. The Wolf staggered to his feet and stands in front of Arya. The Wolf let out a ferocious growl baring its teeth to the boar and scared it away. The Wolf paused briefly glaring at Arya with its piercing eyes before disappearing into the dark void of the forest.
