Design Statement
When I first listened to the theme track, I imagined warm sunlight, orange blossoms, and the gentle rhythm of changing seasons. The music felt bright and lively, yet it also reminded me of how time quietly moves forward, carrying little moments of joy, sadness, and change.

I wanted to turn this feeling into a small interactive story centered around a single orange tree.

The player takes the role of the wind, gently interacting with the tree and its surroundings as the seasons pass. Rather than focusing on challenges or complex mechanics, I chose simple interactions that allow players to slow down, observe, and discover the stories unfolding beneath the branches.

The narrative follows two young women whose lives briefly intersect through the changing seasons. Through their everyday experiences, I wanted to explore loneliness, connection, parting, and the courage to embrace change.

Just like the music, I hoped to create something light and gentle, with a little bittersweetness beneath its warmth.
