For Today, I Breathe Again

What:

      3:35 AM 
      01/30 
   I've packed up all I can fit 
   To take my home elsewhere 
   This house gives me nightmares 
   But I need to rest up 
   For the trip of a lifetime

For Today, I Breathe Again is a poem and companion game for the Game Boy handheld console.

First published as part of the Meditations Project on January 30th, 2019, this work is a contemplation of past fears, future hopes, and the half-lit hours where they begin to overlap.

The poem can be found in the game's files, or can be downloaded separately.

(CONTENT WARNING: Both the poem and game contain artistic representations of domestic abuse.)

What:

These games are selected works from the Computer Technology for Art Education course at Virginia Commonwealth University. Students design and develop pixel-based 2D games as teams. They build these games around a common theme of "pushing buttons," in which they find a shared frustration amongst themselves and use their games a form to express it, whether it be procrastination, parking tickets, or problems with anxiety.
