TW: This game contains themes about suicide, depression and strong language (small part). Viewer discretion is advised.

"You are trudging through thick darkness, fog choking the air around you. You can’t see past your hands, dragging your feet in heavy strides, like a hot summer’s evening is simmering you alive."

A multiple-ending game that relies on looping to progress the story. Originally made as a personal project for my friends, posting it here for them (and you too, I suppose...). Some assets are still in development, mostly because this game was made in one week while I took a break from my main project.

this is a beautiful game and deserves to be seen, I played through from ending 1 to ending 5 and found it simply heartwarming. in a way it reminded me of undertale, with the mechanics being inventive and slightly meta without breaking immersion. The story flows like a gentle stream through a Japanese garden weaving in and out of two different worlds, one of mind and one of reality, this game is woven from a thread of silk originating from a powerful imagination and uses real world issues as a needle to give this thread a form and a purpose.
