Skip: In Memorium
A downloadable coping mechanism
When my grandfather died, I drew a picture of him for the funeral. Now, over a year has passed, and I have created this for him. He was a good man who lived a long life full of joy, humor, and love. Rest in peace, my artist in arms.
Content Warnings for the poem: intrusive thoughts, death of a family member, medical trauma (not mine), negative self-talk, self-harm implied, and suicidal ideation
Content Warnings for the game: grief, death, self-loathing, self-destruction, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and OCD spiraling
Take care of yourselves. Thank you.
UPDATE 7.5.2026: It has been I believe exactly one year, hasn't it? Small personal update before the actual game bits, this game helped me realize I have OCD, so that's been an adventure to cope with. For the game itself, I've updated the layout, some of the text, and added the poem into the game after what used to be the final page.
It is also now 100% free, with a suggested donation of $1 if you'd like to do that. Either way, I hope you enjoy this.
Happy birthday, paw-paw.
