A flashlight illuminates a small yellow sticky note cut into a door shape. Light and shadow fall through the opening onto a notebook on a dryer and the wall behind it.

How does light spill across the floor and wall when a door cracks open?
Took a reference photo for a scene I'm drawing. Just me, a flashlight, and whatever's around. #indiegame #solodev #pointandclick ( #ShotOniPhone haha)

Joy and sorrow depend on when you look.
Even if today feels sad, keep going.

What was One Who Lost about to do?

To avoid ending up there, a real relationship has to be built while the child is still a child.
Because children remember everything.
Parents from yesterday, and yesterday, and yesterday,
it all adds up to the relationship today.

Every child grows up
and decides what kind of parent they had.
One:
Now I understand why they did what they did.
Or:
How could they have done that to me?

This looks so beautiful and cozy!

People try to survive. No one truly wants to sink to the bottom of despair. Without realizing it, we keep trying to change our lives, even if only a little. That’s why sometimes someone who seems perfectly ordinary turns out to carry a story we never imagined.

But later I realized this actually made the atmosphere feel off. A tragic world filled with tragic characters didn’t feel quite right. In real life, people aren’t that simple.

One of the hardest things at the beginning was setting the tone.
At first, the story was much darker and more tragic. In that world, gloomy characters felt like the logical choice.

I was going to write about my game, a story about how time is non-linear. The present can change the past, and the past changes the future. The seed of the story comes from a very personal experience. But in the end, it’s something most people have been through.

Fast forward a few years ago, I was walking along a beach near my tiny apartment. Ten years earlier, I could never have imagined standing on a beautiful California shore. And then my past looked different, blooming with color. Every moment had to be exactly as it was for this moment to exist.

When I was a teenager, and later in my twenties, I remember looking up at the sky on a sunny day — yet to my heart, the world felt grey. It struck me as strange that real life had no Back button, no Reset. #indiegame #solodev #storydriven #adventuregame #psychologicalhorror

when life felt like a dark endless tunnel and you didn’t even know you were about to step out of the matrix
