eyes of tree

[ursula]

I posted my Twine game, Eyes of Tree, to itch.io!

You go outside near twilight or near dawn. You lie flat on your back in the bracken and look up. You can see the edge of the sun's disk, falling below or rising above another hill. You look straight into it. It cannot harm the person you are now.

Loving the Lady under the Hill has a steep price. This game is about what happens after you have paid it.

In the process of formatting for publication, I learned some css and scanned some linocuts I made in grad school: self-publishing is a game of many crafts!

It's lovely -- so atmospheric. I could see it all so vividly. I went through twice and had slightly different endings, though both spacious and melancholy.

Thank you!

Those are the two main endings, though the text changes slightly depending on how high the score for your obsession with the Lady becomes.

Ooh, I like the nuances. It was really interesting -- I observed the bird a lot more in my second journey through, but also attached to the lady more.

Wooooow, this was really beautiful. Gorgeous aesthetics. I could feel the grass and the bark and the yearning. Only played it once so far, but will have to try again. Thank you so much for making and sharing this.
