Nothing left to do but blossom

“For many years we’ve been lost at sea. Adrift. Unanchored.” - Mary Oliver (Starlings at Winter marginalia)

We are sea creatures who have known nothing but the sea our whole lives. But the sea no longer serves us, and we must journey to the land to find ourselves and put down our roots.

This will be difficult, we’ve never walked on land before. We will need to know ourselves very well to make it, and support each other along the way.

We hope that when we reach the end, we can walk into a room and say, “here is where I want to be.”

This game is based on a poetic text, it is poetic in its mechanics and narrative text. It is designed with poetics in mind over playability. It probably is still playable, but will benefit from active interpretation and input.
