Create latte-art masterpieces while listening to the personal issues plaguing each individual. Provide warmth through a decorated cup of coffee and influential conversations.
A Space For The Unbound, Mojiken Studio’s gorgeous pixelart adventure, stars two high school sweethearts on a journey of self-discovery. A strange supernatural power threatens their community, so the pair strives to use their own newfound powers to heal those they love. As a looming comet collision approaches, rally together as a town coping with the end of the world and alleviate the communal pressures of the anxieties that follow.
Navigate a melancholic reality laden with unearthly happenings in a story about overcoming anxiety and depression. Dive into the minds of others, interact with their emotions, and help improve their wellbeing in a lovingly crafted narrative told through richly detailed pixel art bringing the Indonesian setting to life.
