LATEST RELEASE
GROWING HOME
In an irreparably polluted world, civilization was on the brink of collapse. When the apocalypse finally came in the form of behemoth trees that destroyed the infrastructure, but cleared the air, it was called the Rejuvenation.
Marlow, a former programmer, was fine surviving on his own. But when a young girl in need of protection that he can’t provide and a charismatic artist on the run from his former community stumble into his life, he’s forced to reassess the detachment he’s so carefully cultivated.
Against a dominating background of fantastical woods born from the corpses of humanity, Marlow must reckon with questions of faith and love as he asks himself, how much can he dare to hope for in a ruined world?
