A  growing group of people (furunfi, illud, Gioskro & friends) who are experimenting with images, stories, digital and physical games.

“Calm, see me” is a playable prose poem, a personal reflection on loss, both hypothetical and real.
This game is a little gift intended to be played by those we love.
Thanks to our family for all the support and the drawings that appear in the game.

• Explore an imaginary slow-paced old video game while discovering the inexplicable connection between a console and a curious device that contains some thoughts.

• How to play: move around (wasd/arrows); interact with characters (n/left-click on them); read text (m). Click or touch the buttons on screen to play using only your mouse or on mobile devices.

Content Warning: loss, absence, grief.
Known problems: some controllers may cause a fast skip through multiple pages of text when using the d-pad for navigation; the xbox controller doesn't work correctly for HTML version on mobile devices.

The game is also available on a dedicated itch page: https://fintopiccante.itch.io/calm-see-me
