Keyofw and I's submission for GBJam 10! (Press Enter to start the game).

This is a game about a girl who preserves flowers to remember things that are important to her. Content Warning: suicide, death, breakups. There are two endings to the game, depending on tour decisions. You have to completely close the game to get the second ending once you get one, so make sure you completely restart/refresh the page.

Inspired by Regina Spektor's song "The Flowers."

Install instructions

You can either play the HTML version, or download the rom and use an emulator of choice. I recommend you change the emulation mode to "gameboy" and not "gameboy color" because some of the palettes will burn your eyes if you don't.

This was a really lovely game! A lot of great thoughts on love and living. I liked the different genres/aesthetics for each time period and the music was great. Ties together really well, great job!

Thanks so much! I really wanted to make something personal and relatable, so it means a lot that you thought there were a lot of great thoughts. :)
