The Things She Carried is a game of historical drama about a Japanese-American family under relocation orders determining what to keep and what to leave behind.
Akiko, Toshi, and Hana live in Tacoma, WA during WW II, and are a Japanese-American family consisting of a grandmother, mother, and daughter. Akiko was born in Japan, but her daughter Toshi and grand-daughter Hana have lived in the US their whole lives, and have never been to Japan. They have just received news that the US government is going to put them in an internment camp somewhere in California. They have just 24 hours to close their tailoring business, pack what few possessions they can, and sell the rest.
What will they bring with them? What will they sell? What will they have to leave behind?
