Heh thanks, the little directional hearts are supposed to be like the mole sensing (or catching the scent of) love tokens from afar 

Thank you!

Thanks! That's a great idea. We're already using a mask to cut the dug path out of the dirt texture (following a tilemap), so it wouldn't be a far shout to mask the tile edges too

Thank you for your message paurodesa, so happy that you have made this connection with our game. MHLD has definitely been a space for personal expression for us these last 2 years - a catch-all for our thoughts about the world and our place in it, especially during the lockdowns.

thank you 2tgv! Yes, the font can be tough to read at times - perhaps due to the 320 x 200 resolution we are using 0.o

Hello all,

This morning my partner and I released the game we've been working on for 2 years.

Link to our page: https://ivankashdan.itch.io/mhld

MHLD is a point and click adventure with a unique mechanic, where you combine objects to make conversation with the strange inhabitants of our machine world.  It's about 2+ hours long and has alternate endings, with consequences for your actions. 

It's a joy to finally unveil this project that we've been working on in secret for so long now. The final result is enormously complex despite its simplistic visuals, and it will be more rewarding the longer you spend with it.

The game was made using Adventure Game Studio, a (brilliant) freeware available online for constructing 90s style adventure games.

MHLD is about finding meaning in the small things... And the abundant options that can exist with only a handful of miscellaneous objects.

We hope you enjoy! Any feedback is gratefully received!

Very best,

Ivan Kashdan & Blithe Germ
