Whenever You Can Breathe
released on May 25, 2022
An autobiographical short RPG about grocery shopping. It's about being stuck. It's a hanging out with your friends sim. It's about weird spatial relationships. It's about grounding.

Culturally queer and nerdy, whenever you can breathe sets a grounded story about mental health in a supermarket staffed by friends. There's three of them, a shopping list, and a lot of encouragement to go to therapy. There's a little bit of traditional videogaming, too, in the form of finding things on the list, some sokobon, and a bit of maze navigation. But that mostly seems there to hang serious dialog on and to remind the main character that they are loved and supported.
roomie: sniff even my favorite video game composer is a lgbtq hating piece of shit
i haven't played this, but i HAVE played flaming/million.
it's a deterritorialization of queerness, fracturing it into archetypal character tropes thru a blender.

recently, when I go to trader joe's I get lightly panicked. its so overwhelming with people, crowds, and ridiculous items.
in whenever you can breathe you have a shopping list, but carts and immovable people block your wanted items. How many minutes have I spent waiting for someone to clear out of the way in front of the item I want, just to continually be cut off by people who swoop in over another person's shoulder to grab the item?
These ideas, and more, come through in whenever you can breathe.
