Hi!
I just released a free demo for Children's Garden — a puzzle adventure game inspired by Sai no Kawara, a place from Japanese folklore where children go after death.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In a world where reincarnation is managed by a bureaucratic system, you receive a mysterious device that connects you to the afterlife. Through it, a child reaches out and begs for your help.
To give them a longer next life, you must take on the "Ethics Correction Program" in their place — a series of trials modeled after the Sai no Kawara, where children stack stones as penance.
The child's fate depends on how well you do.

Would love to hear what you think!
