You did a fantastic job setting a tone and giving the environment weight and feeling. I'm not sure if this is how it was meant to be read but it very much reminded me of my struggle with brain fog. "returning home" to my brain and body and life only to realize how bad it's gotten, how long I must've been gone, but it was just a blink of an eye to me. With the moss being both the fog and the life things that pile up while I'm "gone". It was beautifully done and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it! Thank you for this experience :3
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it:) And that's a wonderful interpretation - made me look at my own game in a new light that I hadn't considered before. Thank you for sharing!
Not gonna lie, I didn't expect that to turn intense real fast. I thought it was another feel-good cute bitsy game, then... Clever usage of color palettes and great environment painting in such limited pixel space, though I did have difficulty finding the pathways at times.
And I agree - the pathways are quite difficult to find. I originally made them as such to drive home the point that this is a place that has been neglected, however I think went a touch overboard with the execution haha
This was really phenomenal. I love the design of each area and how effectively the player is led through the game. Really fantastic sprites and animations too. You have a great sense for creating space.

"You have a great sense for creating space." - what a heartwarming compliment!:o Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Wow! These are the kind of games that I love to play. This has been an amazing experience. I really appreciate what you have done. Thank you :D
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy you enjoyed it
Although I suspect it wasn't supposed to be a metaphor for self-care, I think this game works very well as one! Great job. Loved the atmosphere.
Thank you for the kind words! And it is actually meant as a metaphor as you suspected:p
replace moss with spider mites and that pretty much sums up my last year lol
this is haunting in a very good way
Thank you! I'm glad the atmosphere resonated with you
