Through drawing onto a paper map, players will take turns exploring the Island and acting out scenes. There are only three months of summer to spend here before the characters leave and the Island dies. Players will spend the end of the game drawing back over the Locations they discovered in play, destroying them. This game explores themes of home and connection. Textured analog illustrations evoke the Island’s nostalgic feeling and inspire players to create and uncreate their own art.Illustrations made with watercolor, colored pencils, graphite, water-soluble crayons, watercolor pencils on watercolor paper and tracing paper.
