New blog post! I wrote about tokoronyori’s mobile game “renal summer”, a life simulation game in which players take the role of the kidney in a dog slowly suffering from renal failure.
renal summer very carefully balances sadness without being mawkish, hope without detracting from its underlying sense of loss and sorrow. For seven days the old man and the dog live in your pocket, smartly synchronizing to the real-time clock so their lives run alongside yours.
