hakoniwa - Miniature Garden

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.

Feel the grass beneath your feet. Hear the gentle stream traveling over a gravel path. Smell the inviting scent of petals in the breeze. Taste the noon sun enveloping you in her embrace.

Open your eyes.

Gaze at the haven in front of you and let peace calm your breaths. Know that nothing will harm you here.

You are safe.

What is the garden you've found yourself in? How have you ended up here?

A short, metaphysical narrative game.
