01 — The project

PEBBY

You choose Pip, Ember or Moss as a companion. The rules are the design: nothing decays while you are away, nothing punishes absence, no streaks, no combat. Barter is with local characters only; movement is 2D sprite translation with illustrated frames.

The illustrations were generated with an image tool and are labelled as such.
