Petrichor

Petrichor is a split narrative that has you flipping through TV channels on a stormy night. Any one story is complete, but stories have a way of blending together.

It was made for the Game Writing SIG Arcjam in 2025 with a focus on the theme of Resilience. We wanted to capture the breadth of resilience as a concept--in drama, in substance, and in mental health--while leaving room for interpretation and personal connection. 

Trigger Warning: Minor themes and depictions of depression

Petrichor was a joint project between:
