A game focusing on the point of view of a child should develop a bond between the child and his mother, as in real life an infant and his mother have a special bond — a theme that permeates much of the game’s story, as well as the child’s singular goal of doing everything he can to reach her. The same goes for the relationship between the child and his stuffed bear or imaginary friends.

​

   Seeing the world through the eyes of a child isn’t something we often get to experience in video games. Even an environment as mundane as an average looking home with an interior you’d expect to see in any suburban household is presented in such a unique way. More than that, playing as a two-year-old offers some clever ways to traverse those environments.

 

   In terms of what you can be doing in this kind of game, much of it revolves around walking or crawling — the latter is faster — around fantastical worlds that range from exaggerated realism to surrealism, to full-on nightmarish landscapes when it is outside of the child comfort zone.

​

   The objectives are simpler than other kinds of games, but a two-year-old child shouldn’t be expected to have the problem-solving skills required to solve puzzles you would expect to find in games like Resident Evil or even the Professor Layton series. But, children’s toys, like the one where you put blocks of various shapes in colors through their corresponding holes, can be used for puzzles, which tie the fantasy into reality in a very neat way.
