Let people know how long this project has been going, or share a bit of its history.
Began working on this during my spare moments between studying/schoolwork around November. I did not plan it out at all, and just sort of enjoyed the spontaneity of creation for a bit. While making something without a plan can be a lot of fun, it's easy to lose steam and struggle to find an ending. I'm glad this jam gave me the motivation to wrap up this project, so I can move on to whatever the next one is!

This was very sweet! The Game Boy sounds and visuals really suit the story and gameplay, gives it a kind-of nostalgic mysticism. 

That first screen is a doozy, took a little while to find the way in!
