Please note: This was an entry for Climate Jam 2023: Wildlife Trafficking. The official entry was the downloadable version. The version playable in the browser was added after the due date.

I took inspiration from the game The Yawhg.

This game acts as a demo/verticle slice of a concept of a choose-your-own-adventure.

** This game was made with assistance from ChatGPT and Midjourney. I've been wanting an opportunity to try it out in a game jam and found this one only 9hrs before it wrapped up. So, I quickly threw this together.
