Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
In the image, two hands are about to touch, but they haven’t yet. My game is inspired by this moment just before the contact. At this moment, people often feel uneasy, anxious, and full of self-doubt.
The image comes from the famous painting The Creation of Adam.
Some people say it shows that humans can never create something as perfect as God. This reminds me of perfectionism in the creative process, which often stops people from posting their work.
My game is about overcoming inner fear and choosing to make contact

An interesting little game! Some of my artist friends are thinking exactly the same. I should recommend them playing it lol
Thank you so much for playing! These feelings are quite very common among artists. If it helps anyone who’s scared of sharing their work, that would be the best outcome ðŸ˜
It has an interesting concept, but the UX is not enough to show what player should do without instructions.
Thanks for the play and feedback, really helpful : D , I can't change UX now, but at least I'd better write some instructions to player
It's a good game about the problem of creators and their creations. There is a book on the exact same topic "Art and Fear".
Thank you! It's a really good book, I read "Art and Fear" few years ago, at that time I was so scared about showing "things" I create to people, but I almost over come it now, I received a lot of encouragement and made many friends during that time, also suffered personal attacks. You remind me to read it a again, I might have a different feeling : D
It has an interesting concept and unique method of storytelling, but the game is too short and a bit sketchy
But then again, I think you captured that anxiety really well!
Thanks for play the game and the feedback! and I'm sooo glad that you can feel the anxiety I want to show though the game, I really wish I had more time work on it, it is too short and too many bugs than I thought, lol
