A beautiful but haunting game about being queer in a small town.

Es más un cuento corto interactivo, como leí por ahí, pero muy bonito, aún así.

It feels weird to rate games like this, so just take it from me that it's worth the few minutes it takes to play. The pixel art is gorgeous.

Cover Me In Leaves is an intimate experience about a person that a lot of small-town lgbt+ people can probably relate to (especially afabs.) I'm one of those people... this definitely hit home for me in an almost visceral way. The story is layered with symbolism and meaning, so much to unpack in such a short amount of time. It's accompanied by a beautiful, eerie atmosphere; the pixel art is so beautiful and memorable.
I don't really want to say much more. It's free and available in your web browser - so if you like text-based short stories, I highly recommend this!

On bright minds, and the end of all things.

Cover Me In Leaves is cruel yet gentle, short but unrelenting. It is dense with meaning and feeling that I couldn't even begin to fully understand from the privileged position I've grown up in, I am an outsider looking in but it sees me, and I see it, and I've seen it, in my life, so many times. A ten minute investment, free to experience in your web browser, accessible to anyone willing to take the time to explore this strange little slice of a world that's not quite our own
