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?

I can't move forward when I'm at the Drag the thoughts away to wake up part 

Can you record a video and upload it to either the Discord or Youtube?

Are you able to move the hand (not your mouse) and pick up thoughts with the hand?

solution? i also cant seem to move the thoughts

The original poster was trying to move the thoughts with their mouse. You're supposed to use the virtual cursor, which is controlled by the keyboard.

it specifically says to play on browser and i was on the itch.io app lol

I just fixed it on the itch.io app :)

I love you so much for this 😭😭
