Play Overview
Song of Bloom (2019) is a narrative puzzle game where you explore chalk-drawn animations to discover a melancholy story. Working through these moving pictures you discover clues that tell you what things to highlight in red and unlock the next chapter of the story.
You revisit the same memory repeated times, but each time you have a new clue to unlock another aspect of the story. Over repeated visits, the narrative slowly reveals itself as more clues are discovered and puzzles solved.
Like escape rooms where you need to carefully investigate a space to find clues, it's an exercise in paying attention. It's a chance to reflect on what we've spent our lives on. It's a beautiful moving painting that we get to move around in.
