hey hey Marimo! This is a bit unusual but I'm alex, the creative director on this game and I'm Lebanese hehe born and raised!
This game is so important to me and I wanted to infuse it with every facet of my identity and that of my loved ones, blood family or found family. You are correct that the demo doesn't get to showcase any of that, but we're working really hard to make sure the game does. It's not gonna be an exoticism view on it so it'll just be in the setting, the backgrounds, the plants, the objects, you know? It's hard to explain through just the endless mode... I thought I'd share a little concept art one of our artists did for the game. I gave them pictures of my grandma's house I took in Beirut for inspiration, and the result kept making me cry... I can't show the final yet but I can show you where it started, and hope you see yourself reflected even a little in the final.
Thank you for trying the demo! <3
Inshallah na3mel 2a7la game w t7ebbouha, w inshallah ntalli3ha bel 3arabi kaman.
Love,
Alex
