How it feels

a short, gentle idle game about growing plants and processing chronic illness and loss, with a quiet, healing tone.

What players say

Players praise the cute art and story about death and terminal illness, but say the gameplay is extremely simple and the game is very short, around two hours. Many note it is free on Itch.io and the Steam version adds only optional speed-up charms, not substantial content.
