Aro.
Bitsy entry for Metaparadox 's #AroJam2022 (March) from an AroAce creator!
Since also submitted to: Glitches Are Queer as a Queer Narrative
Aromantic: a person who experiences little to no romantic attraction, a lack of romantic attraction to any gender.
it is So. Damn. Easy. to dwell on the negatives of being an Aromantic teenager, but it doesn't mean you're doomed!! so this story is a chance to chat about the difficulties of forming complex relationships wrapped in a fictitious story surrounding some personal experiences.
+ I'm hiding half of what the game looks like via selective screenshots, you gotta play to count all the ducks!
+ And there's a cool sprite at the end made of 152 unique 8x8 tiles yoyo ~+
It has a happy ending! :3
3-4 min dialogue-focused walk through some familiar places, interact with pink sprites <3

Don't mind me i'm just looking through old aro jam entries, but oh wow this was a very nice read! I rarely see reps of aro people in a relationship, and the art at the end is very cute! Great work <3
This felt sad and happy at the same time, its lovely. thank yew for making this, its nice too see characters on the aro spectrum in games.
I'm glad you enjoyed the experience, super new to immersive storytelling so it's great to hear that the bittersweetness came across the interwebs' waves ~!
This was really cool! I don't often see aromanticism and alterous attraction talked about in media, and it really opened my eyes to understand these types of relationships a bit better.
nice art at the end
so cute! thank you for sharing your experience
