BEHAVE!

“BEHAVE!” is an interactive narrative that immerses players in a typical Shandong family banquet through a child’s perspective.
Amid the clatter of tableware and the flow of traditional rituals, players take on the role of Lian, making every choice under expectation, comparison, and restriction. Everyday gestures—offering food, seating order, conversations, and peer comparisons—become subtle signals of power, discipline, and emotional pressure.
Through branching narrative, immersive sound, and atmospheric visuals, the work transforms a familiar domestic scene into an intimate exploration of authority, autonomy, and the unspoken rules that shape family relationships.
