Regrets

Do you ever feel like life is slipping away, with too many dreams left unfulfilled? Like you're trapped in wanting to do so much, but never quite getting to any of it? Doesn't that thought scare you—looking back on a life that accomplished nothing, fading without leaving a mark? It scares me too.

Strategy

Regrets is a visual coming-of-age story that guides you through the life of an ambitious young person. If you're like me, you still remember all the dreams and ideas you had when you were younger. I created this game as a reminder to always keep pursuing your dreams, and not let the passing of time take them away from you.

Interact with different objects inside the world to learn and master four core skills: sports, science, arts and music. As you grow, unlock new dreams for the future that that you can collect and inspect inside your bedroom. The path you choose affects your future, leading to new sights and activities later in life.

Moving right from room to room in this game is synonymous to moving forward in time. Moving left means reflecting on the past. As you advance, the player goes to different life stages, starting as a baby and ending as an elderly. Every stage unlocks new potential dreams, and leaves some others unattainable.
