Coming soon: Gutterspace Trauma turned into poems turned into a game!! The lifetime passion project of a husband and husband indie game dev duo.

Black-and-white conceptual artwork featuring a hillside cityscape with a seated statue elevated above rooftops, overlaid with mirrored cloud textures and the title “On Cloud Nine,” symbolizing emotional elevation and quiet joy.

Player: “Why did this scene hit so hard?”
