Max an Autistic Journey Announced
CORSICANA, TX. July 14, in the year of our Lord 2016
– GPAC, LLC proudly announces it will be publishing Max, an
Autistic Journey, a retro style top-down turn-based RPG filled
with mini games, monsters and most of all, heart. Developed by
devoted father Stéphane Cantin, Max, an Autistic Journey will be
released for Windows PC on Steam and other digital distribution
platforms.
Max, an Autistic Journey is Stéphane’s inspired interactive love
letter about his ten-year-old son Max who was born with autism.
While there is a wide spectrum of autism, this game focuses on
Max, where he falls in that spectrum and how he experiences and
deals with the myriad of challenges he must overcome daily.
“Max is my son. We worked together to create a game to raise
awareness about autism by showing a typical day in his life, and
the challenges "typical" things represent for him: getting
dressed, going to school, dealing with noise and stimuli...
Facing a bully... Max, an Autistic Journey is a labor of love
and if I can help people better understand what ASD is, my job
is done! We’re almost ready to launch, we just need YOU to take
just a few moments to go vote the game up on Steam Greenlight.
Help us help spread autism awareness and understanding.”
- Stéphane Cantin, Creator of Max
In Max, an Autistic Journey the player assumes the role of Max,
an imaginative ten-year-old, that has been diagnosed with an
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Traversing Max’s home, school
and wild imagination players will find ways to deal with the
seemingly insurmountable challenges and frustrations of everyday
life. Many players will discover a world familiar but alien to
them. Some may relate to Max's story all too well. Regardless
where you fall in the spectrum of life, Max, an Autistic Journey
delivers an entertaining, imaginative and informative adventure
where the visualization of the beasts may be fantasy, the
emotions and frustrations they represent are very real for a lot
of people.
