Motherly Tendencies is an interactive game developed in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The project examines motherhood not only as a personal identity, but as a condition that may be socially and legally imposed. Drawing from online forums and social media discourse, the work investigates how mothers are critiqued, categorized, and constrained through language.

Set within a surreal domestic environment, the game presents four coexisting maternal archetypes—the mother bee, the workaholic, the drunk, and the absent mother—each occupying the same home. By forcing these contradictory identities to exist simultaneously, the project highlights the impossibility of meeting societal expectations placed on mothers, particularly in a climate where reproductive choice is increasingly restricted.
