Find Me is a puzzle platformer that appears to take some
inspiration from somber but soulful games like Limbo. The game’s narrative
centers on a shadow trying to reunite with her human counterpart. Because of
her shadowy nature, the player character must (of course) avoid light while
navigating the game world, and, based off of interviews, the full game would
feature more light-related game mechanics (such as reflections) as well.

Another fascinating detail about Find Me? The game’s
developers are a group of young girls in middle school and high school. They
developed the game’s prototype during a summer camp program called Girls Make Games. An international program with support from well-known industry partners
like Intel, Xbox, and Playstation, Girls Make Games attempts to bridge the
gender gap in game development. Girls attend workshops and game jams, receiving
support and encouragement to pursue any of the many possible careers in game development.
The girls hope to use their crowdfunding cash to get
professional help with their art and music and for support to finish their
game. Right now they’re awfully close to their Kickstarter goal, but they only
have five days left to fund their project. If you’re interested in Find Me’s
puzzle platformer mechanics or simply want to support a program like Girls Make
Games, take a quick look at their Kickstarter page and their rewards for
backers.
