This is a game of the same sort of Wrenlaw, but smaller and less well implemented. You try to examine a variety of objects in your college dorm to unlock memories about a former love
It is not polished, but I enjoyed playing it, and it didn't overstay its welcome. If you like On Optimism or A Moment of Hope, you'd like this.

Short slice-of-life game about being a college student who has been through some recent trauma. Puzzles are relatively simple and sparse, though there may be some guess-the-verb moments.
