Made for the Extra Credits Holiday 2018 Game Jam.
The Theme was "Present" which I applied to my game in a few different ways. Primarily I wanted to encourage the player to live in the present moment, and relax and feel peace. I also took it as being "physically present" which the main character (Leaf)'s physical presence causes plants around her to spring to life. It's also applied to the fact that she's trying to give the sapling she carries the gift of a permanent proper home in a clearing in the forest to help the forest continue to thrive.

It's a really beautiful game. Thank you for making my day. Also be proud, you made someone shed tears playing it :3
Oh gosh I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for making my day with this comment!
That girl is cute. Cuteness multiplied when I noticed her clothes were shaped like leaves
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun designing her so i'm glad you noticed!!
Lovely visuals, relaxing music. I'd be interested in playing a full feature game in that setting/ artstyle, if you're planning one :)
Really hoping to!! Thank you so much!!
This is beautiful and definitely invokes the feeling you were going for. I think the concepts presented in this game have just as much potential as the sapling itself.
Thank you so much, this means so much to me <3 I'm hoping that when i create a full version it meets peoples expectations!
I love the art n.n
Thanks so much! I spent maybe way too long on it haha.
Very zen. I wish I could see a bit further in front of me so I could watch the forest fade from decayed to grown more easily.
Hmm that’s a really good point! I’ll experiment with that. Thank you for your feedback!
