1938 · Forking Garden

A garden where every future you grew is playing at once

Grow a branching version-tree of short modal phrases. Every leaf is a looping voice, so all your alternate histories sound together — the path you are standing on rings loudest.

Plug in a gamepad or use the keyboard. Leave it idle for ~5 seconds and a ghost gardener grows the delta for you.
