This was one year of screenshots of my game Down the Mountain. Thank you to everybody who chose to give it a try, play it, talk to me about it. It means a lot to me, even though this really was just a tiny project I created over about 48h. Even about two years later, I'm still proud of this game.

I spend ages here, just standing and looking at the scenery. And even a year or two later, I still think the result was worth the effort. Play my cozy photography game Down the Mountain for free over on #itchio! christinacreatesgames.itch.io/down-the-mou... #MadeWithUnity #indiedev

Bunnies/Rabbits (though I guess this one is more of a bunny) are living around here, too! In the hierarchy of cuteness, they are on 3rd place, though. Play my cozy photography game Down the Mountain for free over on #itchio! christinacreatesgames.itch.io/down-the-mou... #MadeWithUnity #indiedev
