Role: Mechanism & Narrative Design

A game of propriety and control for 2 players

The Yellow Wallpaper is based upon the classic short story of the same name, first published in 1892 by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. This essential feminist text tells the story of a new mother as she struggles with confinement prescribed by her doctor husband--a common, though cruel, treatment for depression or “hysteria” at the time of the piece’s writing.
