The Gardens is a world inhabited by cartoon animals and friendly cube people known as cubenen. This city is separated into seven districts, atop a concrete island, in a sea of ink.

This world is also inhabited by hostile monsters, abstract and strange in design. They manifest where hope has been lost, and terrorize citizens.

You play as Michael, a nerdy kangaroo inventor from the Tech District. They have a lifelong goal of making monsters less of a threat to society. And their research takes them to the abandoned offices of the Mall District to test a theory regarding how monsters relate to the memories of the deceased. Things go well, but then they get caught up in a corporate nightmare. Slowly breaking them down and leaving them desperately searching for a way to escape.

This here is a chart illustrating what the price of the game will be depending on how far along I am with the project.
Currently, I have finished up to Chapter 4, so it is listed at $2.49.
If you purchase the game before its full completion, you'll be receiving all future chapters for free!  All you'll need to do is redownload the game and transfer your save when future ones release.
There's no set schedule to when these will be finished, it's kind of on a "when it's ready" basis.  I promise I'm working hard on this!
