Woe is a 2.5D puzzle-platformer adventure video game founded upon the five stages of grief by Kübler Ross. The Kübler Ross model for grief focuses on five stages that a person will move through while dealing with grief. Woe focuses on the protagonist; the player character, an autistic child, dealing with the death of his father. The boy is overcome by his grief for the loss of his father and indifference from his mother. He deals with his problems through his overactive imagination, creating a fantasy world in which he projects his fears and his frustrations. Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by troubles with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Autistic children are known to have an exuberant imagination which can blur the child’s view of reality. Woe depicts an autistic child’s attempt to deal with a shock event in his life.
