Unraveled: Tale of the Shipbreaker's Daughter

Unraveled is an ambitious role-playing game that was successfully funded through Kickstarter in 2015. The campaign's success facilitated a collaboration with renowned Japanese composer Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana), who described the project as “special.” He expressed that, “The setting and message are very unique and create a beautiful and emotional world that I wish to explore through my music.”

The game aims to raise awareness about the harrowing issue of shipbreaking, a dangerous and exploitative practice in impoverished countries like India, where workers are exposed to unsafe conditions, resulting in severe injuries and loss of life that devastates entire families and communities. More information on this issue can be found through the NGO Shipbreaking Platform.

Unraveled follows the heartfelt story of a young girl whose father works as a shipbreaker, exploring the devastating consequences on her family. The narrative unfolds through the girl’s imagination, crafting a meaningful yet fantastical world, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. The game integrates modern gameplay mechanics with hand-crafted graphics, featuring a soundtrack composed by Hiroki Kikuta and Dale North.
