Anchors is the result of a decade of self examination and processing of a very real period of my life where I was passively suicidal. This project is me coming to terms with those feelings and finally expressing them in a constructive way. 

Obvious content warnings for themes of suicide and suicide ideation.

this game was truly beautiful and hit very hard. I'm currently at this stage in my life, if you'd call it a stage, and it's certainly a warming sense of solidarity to know that someone else at the very least knows or remembers the feeling. thank you for this. I really and truly appreciate this. <3 I hope you are well.
