small is a no capital letters kind of affair.
It’s fitting. Exploring this non linear poem, it feels soft spoken in a way that doesn’t need that kind of formality. Rather than an essay, it’s a gentle conversation that invites the player to respond in the classic Twine way of choosing ways forward using hyperlinked text.
What unfolds is a discussion of self perception and the vastness of the universe. The two themes are brought together by dancing pastel stars and quiet, sci-fi adjacent music, and the words themselves feel, above all else, kind. Perfect for a low-commitment recharge on the weekend.
small is available to play in browser for free on itch.io.
