Field notes
The page moves from the game’s stated design constraints—2D cinematic adventure, 45–90 minutes, no weapons, enemies, or combat—to biographies for a cross-disciplinary team whose listed credits include Monument Valley, GRIS, and Button City. Its investor section labels the figures as draft materials and gives a six-month vertical-slice plan; current timing and funding terms remain unconfirmed. The site says the project was developed in consultation with a trauma therapist, while its intended support for affected children remains an aspiration rather than a demonstrated outcome.
