Bring it out now, o silver water!

Bring it out, the serpentine crown!

This game requires a keyboard to play.

Made for the Bitsy Jam #88, in around 9hr. 

I am not fully satisfied-- I couldn't make the hacks work, and I also failed to find a more elegant way to guide the player from one narrative point to another. This is also not the sort of banner I wanted for the page.

This also ended up being way more verbose and more personal than intended. My hope is that, somehow, others will find this little piece relatable and comforting.

If you like the game, please leave a comment and/or rate the game! This will not only make my entire day, but also make the game more visible and easy to find for other players.

You can also support me on LiberaPay. This will help me make more games, as well as afford food and other necessities.

 How to play

Walk on the blue "pathstones" to advance the narration. This is a "kinetic" experience with no choice and only one ending. You can expect around 5 minutes of playtime.

Controls

Use the directional arrows to move and interact with points of interests. 
Use the ENTER key to progress through dialogues.
