"when i first saw you" our second submission by kryouma! She also made "with every passing day, my love grows" - (instagram/twitter). They explained that this small game is "another digital chapbook of poetry, this time talking about my experiences during my school days. chronologically and thematically a prequel to 'with every passing day'. this one focuses on my childhood, and involves platonic relationships." Just like the first game of poems, the aesthetic and design around this game is very sweet and pleasant and pastel and you can play through the poems in your browser. Once again she's written and designed something really beautiful and easy to read, while also addressing and discussing intense emotional and personal experiences.
