Oh my god! I'm in love with this, and I'm in love with Charlie! This is such a gift: a small piece of a loved one that we can take with us and use to remember them, even when they're not around.
It's amazing (but not surprising, I suppose) how visceral playing this is. Framing something as a game is so powerful for establishing practices of reflection and remembrance and exploration, even when applied to mundane things. This game gave me some real space to just remember the very specific details of how my own cats behave, what they look like when they pounce and such, what mysterious factors affect their dispositions.
Thank you so much for this game! It's truly beautiful.
Wow, thanks! I had a ton of fun writing this, it really stretched my creative muscles. I'm so happy to hear (and somewhat surprised) that the feelings I was trying to portray actually came through. The reading material you provided really helped me think about writing in a different way. Thank you so much for this Game Jam, it's such a great idea and I'm seeing a lot of super creative games popping up because of it. Well done.
