■ Developer’s Comment
My games are neither flashy nor extravagant.
Instead, I focus on preserving the essence of play.
Like hide‑and‑seek or tag—simple rules that draw you in until you forget the time.
Rope brings that timeless spirit of play into a modern puzzle game.
It is intuitive, endlessly replayable, and quietly absorbing.
I aimed to create a small, understated experience that stays with players long after they put it down.
I hope this game leaves even a small impression on someone’s heart.
