How are stories made?

If you think "they are written" - that's true, in part. But ACTUALLY they are made from lovingly cared-for wordfruits which are harvested and then used to create stories.

That's what you do in this game: raise up your wordfruits and then use them to create a story!

The first part of the game is raising and harvesting wordfruits based on your need.

The latter part is arranging those wordfruits for a story display for the county fair.

Instructions in-game. (and don't forget to say hello to the dog!)

All art, code, and music made by me!

I had plans to implement additional stories, but unfortunately only had time to finish one story from start to finish. Perhaps future iterations of this game will include other potential stories to complete!

Sidenote: this was a MAJOR down-to-the-wire effort - please let me know if you find any bugs. If I make any post-compo-deadline fixes I'll list them below.
