Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
看题目想到米开朗基罗的创世纪,但是是现代版本。且有一种轻盈温柔的感觉。
我想每个时代的人们都有属于各自时代的不同课题。
文艺复兴的《创世纪》创的不只是宗教语境里的故事,也是人文主义的萌生,是重新思考人的课题。
而现代的我们常常遇到的课题,也需要某种“创世纪”的觉知。它不是恢弘叙事,而是觉知到怎么对待自己才好、怎么生活才可以破除虚无与异化的课题。
我试图把这些思考融入这个游戏,希望能给在意这个问题的人传达到哪怕一点能量,同时也希望没有这种困扰的人们能愉快的度过几分钟~
When I first saw the theme, Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam came to mind—but reimagined in a modern version, with a light and gentle feeling.

I believe that every era has its own unique challenges and questions.
Michelangelo’s Creation wasn’t just a story within a religious context; it also marked the rise of humanism, a rethinking of humanity and our place in the world.

In our modern lives, we often face challenges that call for a kind of “creation awareness.” This isn’t about grand narratives, but about noticing how to treat oneself and how to live in a way that can overcome emptiness and alienation.

I tried to weave these reflections into this game, hoping to convey even a small measure of energy to those who care about these questions, while also offering a few enjoyable minutes to those who are not troubled by them.

Like other ones said, the art is really cute.
I like the premise of the story -- as well as the ending, which gives a cute and light hearted vibe. 

I especially like your "Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme" section here, about how you understand and incorporate this theme. I guess your idea and thinking here is really what made this game charming for me. The bio deduction section is really cute, and deducting the creatures' appearance from its name implements the idea of "creation" to a direction i haven't thought of. I really like that take.  Also, the hiding form the robot section is also creative. It does matches the overall theme you are constructive.

I personally haven't thought much about emptiness and alienation for myself, maybe I am too busy with what I am doing lol but it is a theme I do see coming up a lot in either people I know, or in the society around me. Glad to see you are trying to incorporate your reflection into this game. 

Overall, I really like this game, both the simple and cute art and narrative, and your thoughts behind theme. Thanks for making this <3

Developer
