Update: I found the issue with the endings in my code and fixed them (I had messed up the conditions)! Let me know if the issues persist.
Yet another update: I just fixed the last image that was still a draft (the hand).
Note: There is a spirit ending! You have to find out where to click! :D Also, there are two kinda secret endings if you play around with balancing the constitution.
ISHI is a bite-size existential pet simulator. Given its meditative constitution, if you've been struggling with intrusive thoughts or anything depressive recently, I don't recommend playing it.
My intention was to offer some relief for these kinds of feelings and thoughts through the interaction of a "pet" (I guess pretty much everyone will have to deal with them sooner or later), but my writing may not be the best for many people. So be warned.
If you do play ISHI, I hope you can enjoy it with tranquility.
Peace.
