Computer Eulogy
A downloadable eulogy for Windows, macOS, and Linux
I got a new computer and am learning how to play the guitar.
A very short one-page visual novel about saying goodbye to my old machine.
Background shader by my friend Ænthroppe, who I've known for about as long as I've had this computer. Font is atha by me, which I made for my first visual novel over two years ago.

Loved the way you went through how this computer was the way so many of your games got finished- it does feel like a deeply intimate relationship when you work for hours with a machine and it deserves a proper send off. The shader and the guitar set a great melancholic atmosphere and the pauses between lines of the eulogy gave it the proper pacing for it to be clear this was respectful to an old friend.
That was indeed very sweet. I love how the apostrophes fit so neatly in between u’s and n’s. Thank you for sharing that journey with us.
Your guitar playing on this was rad. Unbelievable considering how new you are to this instrument!
Incredibly sweet eulogy. Been thinking a lot about my relationship with my computer so this hit pretty close to home.
You are such a special person <3 really someone who lives out the term "shining personality".
This was so sweet, I think I sometimes callously think of my machine as just a tool but your perspective (being so saturated in sentimentality) is really striking to me. A computer as a midwife, a partner, a lover. A machine with scars, it’s beautiful. T^T
