Rakuen (the game I have been developing for the past four years) is FINALLY OUT ON STEAM ^___^ If you enjoyed the game and want to help out, we'd absolutely love if you left us a Steam review :)

I hope you enjoy Jump (the ending credits song). I actually have a long explanation about the song on my bandcamp, so you can check it out if you're curious :) https://laurashigihara.bandcamp.com/track/jump

Lyrics below:

------------------------------------------------------
"Jump"
written/performed/composed by Laura Shigihara

(verse 1)
Underneath the Big Dipper we gathered stars
We took off both our slippers
And sank into the water

Then we swam beneath a bridge
We met a man who sold us what we needed
He gave us directions

(pre-chorus)
And we swim
And we fall
Hold my hand
Through it all

(chorus)
If we jump into the water
would we swim or would we drown?
If we built a set of wings
then could we fly or just fall down?
And if you keep talking to me
through this darkness through this night
I'll be alright

(verse 2)
Though we were without a map
without a plan, without a destination
we knew were we were going

We put feathers on our backs
And climbed so we could see all that below us
Before we let go

(pre-chorus 2)
And we fly
And we fall
Hold my hand
Through it all

(chorus repeat)

(bridge)
Would you hold me so I'd never be afraid
As the sky falls down around us now
If you tell me everything will be okay
I'll believe you, you don't have to tell me how

(chorus)

Rakuen is an adventure game about a Boy who lives in the hospital. One day he asks his Mom if she'll escort him to the fantasy world from his favorite storybook, in order to ask the great Forest Guardian, Morizora to grant him one wish. Together, the Boy and his Mom search out special doors that lead between the hospital and fantasy world, and they set off on a great journey. In order to receive a wish, the Boy must complete a set of challenges that revolve around helping his neighbors in the hospital by interacting with their alter-egos in the fantasy world.

The art in the video and thumbnail was created by the very talented Emmy Toyonaga. And a big thank-you to Slamacow for helping me edit the images :)
