About

My Role

MiniBob is a 2D side-view puzzle game exploring the role of smart-home technologies in everyday life. Developed using a Speculative Design approach, the game places players in the role of Bobby, a voice-activated assistant designed to make household life easier. By answering questions, completing tasks, and offering advice, players experience how deeply such technology can integrate into domestic spaces. The game speculates on the potential consequences of smart assistants—particularly around data use, privacy, and influence—encouraging players to reflect on the technology they invite into their homes.
