undoing in three parts
in this world, the heart is a box. it has a lock with no key, and a voice with no mouth, and it wants so desperately to be opened and understood. it lives wherever its bearer thinks it will be safe. it can never be opened, by anyone. it’s forbidden.
vena cava’s box is tiny, and she carries it around in her pocket. it’s always with her. she feels so strongly that it threatens to consume her every day.
pang left her box halfway across the world because she doesn’t trust herself to protect it. it’s buried under a banyan tree and the roots almost threaten to consume it.
the gardener opened her box a long time ago, and she flatly refuses to tell anyone what was in it.
a story in three parts.

I know this game is short, but it was a really (idk how to say this) "enlightening" experience. Like,, this made me think about things A LOT. I know this comment is a mess, but I just wanted to say thanks for making this game!! The message it sent really hit home with me!! I really needed something like this right now,, life has been really harsh and the writing and everything just seems so empathetic. I wonder what size my box would be
oh my gosh this is so sweet! i'm really glad it meant something to you that's all i ever want to do w/ my games <3 thank you so much for taking the time to play & let me know what you thought!
