Antioma, a story-based point-and-click adventure, takes us on a journey through the adventures of a young boy searching for his mother. When he doesn’t see her arrive at the hospital for his birthday, he realizes something is wrong…
As mentioning above, in Antioma we experience the adventures of a child who has spent most of his life in a hospital. Too fragile for real life, he spends his days with children who, like him, have a similar fate. This until the day of his seventh birthday, while he waits for his mother. Hours pass and there is not even a trace of her. What has happened to her? Something doesn’t add up for the boy, and what to do but take courage and find out for himself? – “I’ll find you, Mom.”

A fragile but not cowardly Kiddo
Hours pass, the other children go out with their families, and the boy watches them go. The little boy sits there and waits, while anxiety rises along with doubts. Alice, the nurse, tired of seeing him sitting on that couch, advises him to go back to his room or take a walk around the cafnteen.
Kiddo, has no intention of giving up. Mom had told him about going for a walk in the park, how could she have forgotten? Where is Mom? Could something have happened? So many questions crowding an already tried mind; leads child to confront his own Shadow. An intense exchange with himself that will last for his entire adventure inside and outside the hospital.
Love beats fear
