A Message from the Developer
This game is entirely Free to Play. My intention was to create a story that acts as a "first-aid kit" for anyone navigating loss. If this magic can help save just one person's world, creating this has been truly meaningful to me.
If you enjoy the story, please share it with your friends and family, or leave a review. Thank you!
Streaming Guidelines
I welcome and encourage everyone to stream or create videos of the game! All I ask is that you follow these simple, friendly requests:
Please add your own commentary, or voice acting. (Since this is a short and free game, please do not upload silent, raw gameplay so it doesn't spoil the experience for others.)
Please do not restrict the streaming content to paid members only.
I highly recommend reading the DLC Art & Concept Book for a deeper understanding of the story.
Please include the game link, the developer’s website, Twitter link (monday_mocha), and BuyMeACoffee link (mondaymocha) in your video description.
Thank you so much for your understanding and support!
