Stilstand

Stilstand is an award-winning interactive comic by artist Ida Hartmann and game studio Niila Games. It is a deeply personal journey into the mind of a young woman as she tries to stay afloat in Copenhagen during a summer riddled with hopelessness. Amid the desire for isolation there’s still a hope that one day, things will change. Maybe the shadow monster in her apartment can help her?

Stilstand is a personal and hand-drawn tale about the high expectations and the fragile limbo of feeling stuck in life. It is a whimsical and absurd portrayal of anxiety, loneliness, and despair, and brings the player with it on an adventure into the emotional landscape of a lost soul.
