Hello! I thought this game was beautiful. I wrote about it in relation to climate emotions (and suggested Seeds of Renewal as well).
Thank you for your work!

Reading this was incredibly moving. Thank you for holding We Were Here Once with such care and clarity—it means a lot to see it living in someone else’s hands and imagination like this. The idea that play can be a container for grief, not an escape from it, resonates deeply with why I made the game. Vashelek’s story, as you’ve told it here, carries a quiet dignity and warmth even in its final moments. That balance between loss and agency, collapse and creation, is exactly the space I hope we can keep exploring—together, and in our own time. Thank you again for this thoughtful reflection.
