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.

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.
I really liked this experience. User interface is very beatiful. A lot of pixel art, very inspired by old school Win 3.0 and Win95. There is also beautiful blurs when you play with the camera. The controls are a little bit chaotic but since you play flower it makes sense. Could be a little difficult for non-gamers. I sense a little influence from the game Flower. The vibe is not upbeat. It's pretty grim. But it's ok, that's the vibe. Don't play this if you have ecoanxiety or if you are triggered by sexual assault and online harassment discussions. I really liked the end [spoiler]when you are on the dying ship[/spoiler].
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.
Glitch art collides with poetry, short fiction, computing interfaces, and brutalist hellscapes. You are reminded of a world where life is hollowed out. A soul crushed by immense powers of hate. This is a poetic journey of resilience that feels impossible. It's somber, melancholic, yet hopeful. "Towers crumble, gates rust, shadows dissolve". It's a tremendous work of art. Combining multimedia in such unique ways. Games inside games. Engines within engines. Aesthetics swimming together in a sea of the surreal. It all works together to tell such a personal story. Something that could only be made by a singular artist telling their story in their bespoke method. Wonderful work of art.
It's angry. It's beautiful. It's a eulogy for the very concept of goodness, given by the tiniest remaining spark of hope and human decency. It's definitely worth your time.
Very well done. I'm sorry you had to go through so much
