Credits: The entire experience is hand crafted by me. No AI. Entirely made by a human. The only asset not made by me are two concrete textures from the Unfinished Building Quixel Megascans asset pack on Fab. These two were used as base textures for the concrete. I couldn't make something better. It's a very beautiful texture that I could not part with.

holy what an experience, ilove flesh blood and concrete but the writing in this i loved even more
Just no.
This is the first 3d game I played by alienmelon. I greatly enjoyed Tetrahedron Games and Everything Will be Alright. I think the same type of deeply personal writing and existential irony managed to fit this one pretty well. I was never locked into anything- could figure my way around the movement mechanics and how to progress further without much trouble. Meaning this experimental game did not fall into some traps others tend to of "what should I do/where should I go etc". The brutalist landscape is larger than what originally seems, but you dont get lost. Can't say I prefer this over her 2d work, but am definetely looking forward to more in this line of games. It was short and got its message across.

One of those games that makes me glad this medium exists and reminds me why I love it. Found it in a bundle on Itch, but felt like I had to get it again here too. It's a bleak and heavy game. Trauma, cycles of abuse, destruction of nature, a system and society that enables hurt, and an end of our world brought about by a few rich evil men with fragile egos. The game hits hard, with multiple parts making me tear up and there being a particularly gut-wrenching sequence near the end that made me feel a real heaviness in the pit of my stomach, even on a second playthrough. It's brutal and it's real. Yet, the game is also strangely serene. There is an eerie beauty in this desolate, ruined, sorrowful world where a flower still dares bloom through the cracks. There is some sense of hope still. "It wasn't always like this... It didn't need to be like this." It's a short game, but it has a lot to say and I found it to be absolutely gripping. The atmosphere and aesthetic are phenomenal, and are great for framing the writing, which is the key strength and focus here (it being a 'game poem' after all). Sometimes abstract and draped in poetry, sometimes veiled as a fable, sometimes blunt and direct, but always effective and evocative.
Very well done. I'm sorry you had to go through so much
Disturbing. Beautiful. Gut-wrenching. Tender. This game is a thoughtful, complex experience. It took me a little over an hour to complete. There are a couple of non-obvious things to do in the game (I didn't immediately think to use the down arrow at certain times; once I'd worked it out, I was able to re-read through those sections within the game). The narrative is going to be with me a while.
Глазкам больно, но хорошо. Скорее интерактивный рассказ, чем игра.
Nothing else looks like this or is written like this. Post-human, post-glitch, post-no-more.
This is a short yet heavy-hitting experience as you float around a decrepit city with somewhat rough controls. It's hard knowing what you're getting into when buying this game, but it turned out to be such a heart-wrenching ride as you collect memories of what happened to the Earth, humanity, and a poet who tried to warn everyone. Both equally beautiful and grim, I'm glad I had no plans after playing this game so I can sit in my room thinking about life and birds.
Bloom in a world wracked by pain, long after everything had come to an end
