A downloadable game for Windows

afterain,

Distant drops scatter, yet some hands reach on; 
Faces blur, but the light finds them.
Warmth lingers between the petals;
After the rain, all remains,

afterain, is a short narrative experience about waiting, touch, and accepting yourself—after the rain.

This is a gentle interactive story about hands, rain, and unspoken feelings.
Standing still at a silent intersection, you meet strangers passing by and offer them a flower—one touch at a time.

As the rain slowly changes, so does the meaning of waiting, and of giving.
A quiet experience about warmth shared, and the self you finally learn to accept.

Theme

The theme is embodied through touch and warmth.

Some figures will quietly fade when touched.
Others may turn, meeting your gaze.
At times, warmth asks for more than touch.

The act of giving flowers becomes an act of shared warmth, a small transfer of feeling from one hand to another.

Only after the rain can warmth remain.
