name search

Hi everyone,

So as some of you already knows, i'm working on a game right now, and we need a good name for it. So i will ask you for some advice with a poll !

it's the occasion for me to tell you the story i'm writing for it.
The game is the story of a little girl, Chloe, who's lonely with their parents, living in a house surrounded by nature. Her only friend is a little fish and she imagine a lot of adventure and mysterious stories with him. Unfortunately, when the parents decide to move for the big city, the aquarium break and the fish dies... The girl is left alone and afraid of a new town, but behind here, as she leaves her house in her parent's car, the dead fish mysteriously awake from the ground to float in a bubble of water. A weird journey begins for him, on Chloe's path...

So, this is a really poetic and melancholic game, not really casual or childish. The story is about a little girl growing and accepting to discover the world, metaphorically. (Think some Burton work or Miyazaki's) So we need a title that avoids the game being associate with some NDS shovelware lol ! This mean the title must be really arty and abstract.

I put a poll with some propositions we have, but you can also add something of you own.
Thx :)

I said "Chloe's Path", but that was just my favorite out of the poll options. On here are listed a bunch of great choices. I really like ADouble's "Lost In Sanity" and JRhyme's "Chloe's Wake". Both have double meanings, and both sound less generic.

Also, speaking of generic, I know Dew Drop is leading the poll, but I think that's just because people like alliteration. It sounds incredibly generic to me, though.

Well it's not easy but my title would be "The Resurrected Adventures of Chloe"

Why you ask ?

-Resurrected- for the fact that the fish was once dead and is alive again with something that may consider magic and by that I think that being living one more time means of a world that may be abstractive, unpredictable, impossible and unexplainable

-Adventures- for as the author said the girl will witness something new with the help of the flying bubble fish

Humm,

English is not my first language, so, even if I`m good at English this may come out wrong, here it goes:

let me think.

Concrete Leaf
Trails
Under the Rain
Life`s Drops(as in rain drops, don`t know if this sounds good in english)
Rain (simple :D)

Tim Burton`s The Big Fish :D

Good luck with the game because I`m really interested.

A vote for madadric's title. At the very least, put the quote in some sort of introduction. But I do have some titles of my own.

Despair & Fury

Her Last Sandbox

Lost In Sanity

Chloe's New Friends

The Memory of Childhood

A Weird Journey (heh)

Perhaps "Childish Things" as in Corinthians 13:11 "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things."

Depends on if the subtext of the game suits the quote though i guess. Does the Fish find out Chloe has grown up and moved on without it, only for it to be inherited by her daughter? that mike work thematically for this name. In a similar theme "The Things We Leave Behind" could work.

In the vein of names based on what the fish is doing, there's stuff like "Chasing Memories of You" (or chasing memories of Chloe if you like) "Mirages of You on the Horizon" (Acronym MoYotH sounds kinda cool too.)
