A downloadable admiration
This game is free to play and download. If you do decide to donate through this page, half of the money would go to Indonesian reforestation efforts. Every bit counts, thank you so much ♡ The same will apply to future games of mine.

Another dip into this genre for the LitD jam! This is the third time I made some sorta game after Bunga Tidur and Snail Snooze the last two days. I think I am doing a challenge of make-a-game-a-day this week with buds on the Lucky Newt server. They did prompt us to use old book artworks! And I want to do something smaller but meaningful to me. I have been dabbling into Buddhism lately and it opened my mind to these sort of awareness, meditative, and mindful thought practices are wonderful to have around and be reminded with. I thought I’d share!

This is so precious! I've done this a couple times before, specially when I find myself alone in public spaces. I must have acquired some experience points without knowing. >:D Imma be great at this game. * dances *
Awwwwww thank you so much 💗💖💖💗💘💕💞💞💕💓💘💕💞💖💗 I appreciate this a lot knowing it makes me super happy I am genuinely glad
Very interesting. Its not much of a “game” in the traditional sense, and its not so much about storytelling, but from what little I know about journaling games it seems to get straight to the point of the exercise. Let me be clear, I’m not saying this negatively, just descriptively.
This is, ultimately, a focused sitting meditation practice, and not really a beginner level one, but one that gets into “themed” meditations. And what a theme. Talk about developing compassion and peacefulness. As a person who has meditated occasionally and who would have once called themselves a Buddhist, I am definitely going to attempt to incorporate this into my practice (first I have to actually get back into my practice, ha!). Thank you so much for this
Thank you very very much <3
