(Micro Fiction Games Jam 2023) Star Heart Ending

[taichara]

I have survived a two-month onslaught of physical, emotional and otherwise fuckery (and I hope to hell I get a breather).

After I staggered past the for-now finish line, I found enough space in my head to write a game for the 2023 Micro Fiction Games Jam, where the goal is to write a game of any kind in 280 characters or less.
I came right up on the 280 limit, but I did write a little game, and so here it also is.
