Let's talk about women in The Sundew for Women's Day
It's important for me to talk about women, about all that they bring to society and all that remains to be done to ensure that their work is better recognized or, for the worst-off among them, about all that remains to be done to ensure that they are treated more humanely. Because I do not forget that I'm very lucky - despite the difficulties - of being born in a country where I can work like a man and be free of my choices and my movements, while in other countries women have to fight to... barely exist. And the vision we have of women is also conveyed by the cultural products created and consumed. This is why I chose to create as many female characters as male characters in The Sundew. In this game, women have varied and interesting roles. Just like in real life!
You'll play Anna, our favourite cyber policewoman, but you will also meet Donna, the computer scientist, Arabella, the boss, Karin, the forensic scientist, Nao, another cyborg, Yoko, a charming little girl... and each of them will have something to tell you! Except maybe Arabella, because she is not in a very good mood these days.
Otherwise, as far as the game design is concerned, I'm an IT programmer and graphic designer myself, and I work with quite a few women. Providers, coaches, experts, and so on. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Houria Saoudi, coach at Plaine Images, Charlne Lebrun, who is in charge of press relations, Kallie Celeste, the translator of the texts, my mother, without whom I would not have done all that I have done, and all the others whom I cannot unfortunately mention but whom I am very pleased to work with.
Of course, this does not put men aside. Let's just not forget to open our eyes to all those around us, and to consider them in all humility.

For Women's Day, I'd like to talk about the women in The Sundew, and the women who made The Sundew.
Why is this important to me?
It's important for me to talk about women, about all that they bring to society and all that remains to be done to ensure that their work is better recognized or, for the worst-off among them, about all that remains to be done to ensure that they are treated more humanely. Because I do not forget that I'm very lucky - despite the difficulties - of being born in a country where I can work like a man and be free of my choices and my movements, while in other countries women have to fight to... barely exist. And the vision we have of women is also conveyed by the cultural products created and consumed. This is why I chose to create as many female characters as male characters in The Sundew.

The women in The Sundew
You'll play Anna, our favourite cyber policewoman, but you will also meet Donna, the computer scientist, Arabella, the boss, Karin, the forensic scientist, Nao, another cyborg, Yoko, a charming little girl... and each of them will have something to tell you! Except maybe Arabella, because she is not in a very good mood these days.
The women working to make this game coming to life!
Otherwise, as far as the game design is concerned, I'm an IT programmer and graphic designer myself, and I work with quite a few women. Providers, coaches, experts, and so on. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Houria Saoudi, coach at Plaine Images, Charlne Lebrun, who is in charge of press relations, Kallie Celeste, the translator of the texts, my mother, without whom I would not have done all that I have done, and all the others whom I cannot unfortunately mention but whom I am very pleased to work with.
And also...
Of course, this does not put men aside. Let's just not forget to open our eyes to all those around us, and to consider them in all humility.
Good Women's Day to all of you :)

Shibukawa, capital of Japan, 2054. Water drips from the cracked ceiling onto the edge of your bed as the incessant rain masks the whine of a refrigerator and the neon hum of the city outside. You don’t recognise the heavy breath in your ear nor the warmth of the body lying next to you...
The world’s gone to hell, and it’s taking you down with it.
![]()
Welcome to Shibukawa. You are Anna Isobe, a cybernetically enhanced cop in a world that’s left you behind. Once a shining hope for the future, cyborgs have become taboo, replaced by drones and automata that make even your heightened abilities obsolete. Stuck in a thankless job surrounded by indifferent eyes you still have a duty to protect and serve, and that’s just what you’re going to do.
The Sundew is a dark adventure game set in the aftermath of a devastating future war, where the world as we know it was twisted by flames into a terrifying new dystopia. What begins as a normal day quickly becomes something else, and soon a lonely beat cop will hold the fate of the world in her hands.

The Sundew pays homage to classic adventure games of old while reflecting contemporary issues and gameplay. Beautifully drawn pixel-art and stunning sound design brings this dark future to life and grounds you in a vision of humanity’s progress that is both alien and strangely familiar...
![]()
Japan lies in ruins, save for the bustling haven of Shibukawa. Guide Anna through this new megalopolis and beyond in her search for the mystery behind a growing conspiracy. Travel from the backstreets of the city to far-flung isles, and the most notorious prison this side of the Steppe.

Alongside classic point-and-click gameplay The Sundew will ask you to make decisions that will change the future of humanity. Playing off contemporary issues, the choices offered are never black and white. Where do you believe mankind’s interests lie, and what means are acceptable to achieve them?
