Starcrossed
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Mimi, an ant, finds himself swept up into a strange and alien place... a rumbling, moving location known as a "car". Aside from the humans controlling this strange beast, his only companion is a hungry jumping spider who calls the car home. Already miles from his colony, Mimi has no choice but to tag along on this road trip, in hopes that it will turn around at some point- but things aren't quite that simple for the young ant...
A short visual about what it means for one's life to be "meaningful".

- Discussed/Implied Cannibalism (No depictions of it in game, or any gore/blood)

It's always great to see characters who have both humanity and bug biology! I love the part of the story where the characters have a discussion, you're good at that part. After selecting the last option in the game, the story performance was so good that I actually cried🥺
Aaaaaah, thank you so much, this means so much to hear... I'm really happy that my writing could have that sort of impact ;w; I always feel a little sad when I think about how short bugs lives often are, so I wanted to try and channel that into a story at least once. Thank you so much for reading, and taking the time to comment <3 <3
