Background:

I made this for a community pop-up in San Francisco called Fruits Base. It is a video-game adaptation of one of my blog posts with the same title with sort-of fictional characters.

I originally intended for this game to just show the repetitive nature of life and aging. In the middle of the making of this game, I had gotten into a fight with my mom, went through a few friendship breakups, and I fell into a long and deep depression. The development of this game helped me somewhat repair my relationship with my parents, to let go of guilt, to give my past a proper send-off, and to be a lot kinder to myself.

Enjoyed It?

Such a heartwarming game. I'm going through something similar lately, since I started uni. I feel every inch of the game so real, so marvellous, so relatable. This was a pleasant surprise to find. I really hope everything goes better and that you are feeling better. Thanks for making this. <3

found this by chance on the front page, so glad it pulled me in. The idea of returning to simpler times online to soothe yourself is a concept I find myself returning too to. It's nice to see someone else sit with those similar feelings in art. 
Thanks so much for making this.
