Grandma's Garden of Crystals

It is a fairytale about crystal flowers and the magical guardian of the world.

 

Look at those flowers: their wispy haulm shivering. 

Soon will they bloom, and turn into crystal. 

The world is protected by them, by the power of crystal. 

And you are owner of the garden, as well as the guardian of the world. 

In the past 80-years life, the flowers sprout and grow.

 

Finally, they are blooming. It is time to harvest.

In memory of my grandma Wang Lan-ying, a kind and chatty woman who devoted decades of her life as a teacher of the elementary school of town. She stopped her years of suffering from lung cancer in peace, after the first few hours of 2023, before the dawn.

In her last years, she always complained about not hearing clearly, and rested a lot on the bed. I thought it must because she was busy saving the world at somewhere beyond, making her tired, and often too far away to hear the voice from this world. That was the original idea of this game.

She's a super hero. She planted so many beautiful things in her life, and here came the harvest.
