I love this cozy, intensely relatable snapshot: as short and sweet as it is, it hits on topics and a very specific feeling that larger and longer games chase after and rarely catch. There's a magic in the mundane that we too often overlook: the (often failed!) spells cast on cupboards and the fridge in search of food, even when we know full well they'll be empty; the conjured armor of need in going out in whatever clothes, unbossed and unbothered, which crumbles at the first touch of social interaction; the small electric spark of kismet in meeting someone new, and not knowing who they will be to you in the future, but trying to read your fortune in a smile or a shared glance.
Thank you for a beautiful glimpse into this slice-of-life. It's like light on water, an old and faded photograph, and a worn and favorite blanket, all at once. I felt each word in my sternum as I read it, and while I could easily gush for longer, I honestly don't know if I have words for how special that truly is. ❤️ Gorgeous work, and well done!

The way the words to reply to this absolutely glowing and heartfelt review are NOT COMING!!! Not the way I want them too LOL 🥹 I'll share a secret: this game was never intended to be a shortie and I always thought I'd add more at a later time. I still want to, but as it stands? I'm very proud of the way it's been able to resonate with players.
I very much am the kind of person who likes to stuff her soul into her creative projects, hoping connect with and to hold a space for people to take what they need (or want) in the way that creative projects from others do the same for me. So thank you for taking the time to not only play this little project but also to share with me how it made you feel 🤎😁
