A videogame developer's love letter to his son; an immersive narrative driven experience to memorialize Joel Green and, through his story, honor the many he represents. That Dragon, Cancer is a poetic and playful interactive retelling of Joel’s 4-year fight against cancer.
Using a mix of first-person and third-person perspective, and point-and-click interaction, this two-hour narrative experience invites the player to slow down and immerse themselves in a deeply personal memoir featuring audio taken from home videos, spoken word poetry, and themes of faith, hope, despair, helplessness and love, along with in-game tributes to the loved ones of over 200 of our Kickstarter backers.
Can you find hope in the face of death?
Note: Thank You For Playing is an independent project, produced and directed by Malika Zouhali-Worrall and David Osit. The Green family along with the rest of the Numinous team did not produce the film, but they are very honored to be the subjects of the film.

That Dragon, Cancer is a game I waited far too long to play. It was the quickest a game has ever made me cry; shedding my first tears only about 20 minutes in. I don't want to say anything about this game because I honestly think it's one that is best going in blind but I urge everyone to play it and hear Joel's story.
probably can't finish, sobbing uncontrollably
Life-changing experience. Some of the hardest 2 hours of my life.
100% would recommend
100% don't want to play it again
Thank you for making this
I cried like 5 times at least, Psalm 23:6
its a great game i loved it andso will you
This is one of the only serious reviews Ill do.
This isnt a game, its a story. And its one that hits hard if youve lost someone or currently have someone going through cancer or such. Hell it could be anything.
This is such a touching way to tell how a family lost their son due to cancer.
Is it long? no. But the point is the family making a tribute to their son and its the most pure thing ive seen in a long time.
I read all the cards in the hospital, and it genuinely made me tear up reading through each message people sent to their folks or loved ones while there.
Probably hit hard as someone who has a current family member dealing with some health problems.
Even if you dont buy this game, atleast watch videos to see the messages sent through the game.
Fuck Cancer. Thank you for an experience
Probably the saddest game ever made in my opinion. I couldn't make it through without being in absolute tears bc of the connections I have with loosing loved ones due to numerous illnesses, including cancer. My only complaint is that for whatever reason, in the levels where you played in the ocean, my screen went completely purple. I later found out that in the last level, the sunrays where completely purple. If there's a solution, I'd love to know so I may replay them and add them to my video. Other than that, I'd highly recommend this game for everyone to experience. Thank yall from the bottom of my heart, and I am so sorry that you had to experience the agonizing pain of loosing that beautiful baby boy due to this terrible illness.
This is a very deep and real immersion into the human experience. A very important story to experience for those with maturity as this experience does not hold back.
This is one of those games where you play once, you tell your friends about it, but you don't dare touch it again. This game hits hard in the emotions. I love this game. But I am not strong enough to play it again.
I cried like a bitch.
It's a good game, it just hits you so hard... I couldn't even get through it. Do not play it if you are in an emotionally vulnerable state. It will make you feel like shit, as you are forced to watch as a sweet little kid slowly dies from cancer.
I understand the story that the Greens are trying to tell here, I really do, but the game itself is just horrible. They would've been better off making a movie.
fuck cancer man...
There is none that narrates perseverance and hope better than this one.
Do you want to cry before you even press start?
There is an infinitely balanced amount of pain, sadness, joy and hope.
It will hurt, especially if you're a parent.
As a new father this was heart wrenching. Some scenes were so similar to experiences I've had with my own baby that they destroyed me. I am happy for the authors to have found so much solace in religion, though sadly it did not resonate with me as much as I would have wanted. However, I found it very masterfully done.
Wow. A truly indescribable game - if you can call it that. It's more so a story, an expression and one that has made me feel more emotion in this amount of time than anything ever has.
I highly, highly recommend this game to anyone who hasn't played it, and my one piece of advice is to do everything. Read every note, listen to every bit of dialogue as intently as possible and immerse yourself in this game. Be prepared to cry and be prepared to really truly feel this grief.
I have three boys, all around the same age (they look similar, too). This nearly wrecked me, especially the "Farmer Bill" part. This is the only game where I was actually glad that at times the controls weren't 100% intuitive because I really needed the break from immersion to get control of myself as I looked/clicked around to figure out what to do next. What an amazing way for a family to navigate through this by putting out this 10/10 game.
all i did was cry
This "game" never seizes to amaze me. Went through every card, every scene, every letter, voicemail, picture, game, every picnic, toy, tears and smiles every audio log of them all laughing together. I hope none of you ever have to face that dragon alone. One of a kind.
It is just, something special.
like, damn. didnt expect to be hit this hard. at all.
do you see the rainbow in the bubbles?
I will go continue crying while trying to sleep.
incredibly touching
i lost one of my best friend to cancer in january, and this game gives a sense of comfort that is indescribable.
as quoted in the game for all those who have passed from cancer, "i hope that whatever's become of you, you are presently better off than you were at the end of your life. we miss you"
really good game :)
"I shall cover you with my hand until I have passed."
[hr]I first heard about That Dragon, Cancer a long time ago, back when it won the Games for Impact award at The Game Awards 2016, and from watching Jacksepticeye's and Markiplier's. But I haven't seen the documentary 'Thank You For Playing'.That Dragon, Cancer is an autobiographical game based on Joel’s 4-year fight against cancer which allows players to experience the highs and lows of Joel’s cancer journey through this point-and-click game. Made by the family who lost their loved ones. Ryan Green (Joel's father) is the developer of this game and Amy Green (Joel's mother) is the writer of this game. Several voices and conversations you hear in the game are from home videos the parents recorded. So, when you are at 'Dehydration' scene, brace yourself 'cause I can't imagine how hard it must be to hear a little boy crying in pain.
But this game also tells about another person's story, which I read all the cards/letters at 'Waking Up', 'Adrift', and 'Drowning' scene. But that 'Waking Up' scene, there are so many cards. Those card may be short and it may not seem like much, but it's a small piece of someone else's life.
Life... no matter what, difficult times will come. But that's part of the journey. No matter how hard, it helps shape who we are.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3331280244
Be ready to cry. This game will wreck you.
I don't even know what to write here because how could anyone actually critique an experience like this, recommend whether or not it's worth buying like it's some kind of product, it feels like that would be crass. Pointing out any flaws would be as vulgar as nitpicking the writing quality on a tombstone.
I suppose that's what this is, a piece of art made to commemorate a life. To take a tragedy and all the grief that surrounds it and turn it into something beautiful. In a way that reflects the beauty of Joel himself.
This left me utterly heart-broken. I need to take a moment in silence just to recover and reflect on everything.
Beautifully brutal
Absolutely beautiful story. So heartbreaking to play through as a new Dad, but so hope-filled.
Played this while high, and cried for the first time in 5 years. -thank you i needed that
