Artistic Statement / Use of Theme
We often see powerful, tragic images of majestic animals like polar bears, whose seasonal habitats have disappeared entirely - but it's not only them. Animals in our backyards have their lives dramatically impacted by natural disasters, such as long term changes in temperature and water availability. In order to demonstrate this, my story is written about a normal, plain, uninteresting fish, like any you'd see in a river.

I have also mildly covered the topic of introduced organisms to a habitat and how they may be impacted by changes in weather differently than endemic organisms.

Development Summary
This game was developed by a single individual.

During the development phase, my biggest challenge was getting sick. While ill, production slowed and so I had to cut down the length of one chapter; originally far more complex with multiple variations and options, I streamlined the chapter to about 7 choices and 2 bad ends. I would have liked the original complexity, but the emotional impact remains and that is what is most important.

Release Plan
The project is tested and complete, you can play it from start to finish without any bugs.

I will continue to update it:
- I will do another hard edit of the text after some time away so I can analyze and makes changes with a clear viewpoint
- More UI additions and changes?
- Potentially the addition of music
- I would not mind getting an artist to make sprites or CGs, but it's doubtful for such a small, informal project
