Render Her Real
Turning players into creators and characters into personal narratives.
Render Her Real is a speculative design project that empowers female gamers to reclaim their creative agency. Through a co-creation workbook, a narrative-driven game, and a satirical video, the project boldly challenges hypersexualized tropes in gacha games and invites players to reflect, redesign, and reimagine character identity. It offers an emotional, interactive space where players become storytellers, not just consumers.
