About the project
A game created for the Game Boy™ and Game Boy Color™, developed during the Cartridge Narratives elective at Willem de Kooning Academy.
The project draws inspiration from permacomputing principles and ideas of sustainability. The narrative follows a young girl who, instead of purchasing a new gift, chooses to repair her grandfather's broken radio — exploring themes of care, resourcefulness, and emotional connection within the constraints of 8-bit technology.
Designed in GB Studio with low-energy, long-lasting hardware in mind.
