How does your game relate to the theme?
This game started way out of scope as my first solo-dev project, but I believe the general premise fits the theme of Mask. The player needs to identify and collect only native plant seeds and gardening tools. During winter break while expanding their garden (for their grandparent), the player must be on the look out for malicious enemies (slime neighbors - because they don't like humans). I planned on progressing in weekly increments and bring new challenges. The player has no defense other than switching their appearance for a limited time. In this way, I have depicted disguising and the stress of having to pretend to be someone you are not.
Masking to me is an unfortunate necessity, both for health and safety (yes, I am talking about COVID), and this game is about doing something positively meaningful while juggling a stressful reality.
