My indie game has: - lots of thinky word puzzles - a cozy-creepy mystery to investigate - a tight-knit cast of messy characters - charming art and 2D animation - bugs to take photos of - a bittersweet story about navigating disability

This game is really clever, and I insist you play the demo ASAP. Its core mechanic is this really clever system of constructing short responses by picking words you've heard other people say - it's so full of emotional weight and the art is beautiful. It's sad and queer and heartwarming so far.
