As wars and conflicts continue and even grow around the world, the need to reflect on the invisible thoughts of others is precisely why we drew the boy no one can see.” Based on a 2014 juvenile novel by English poet and author A.F.

O menor sinal de atrito pode fazer com que o jogador passe para o próximo jogo. Portanto, criar uma interface de usuário intuitiva e eficaz é fundamental para criar jogos que sejam revisitados continuamente pelos jogadores.
