per aspera (itch) (marcam-fs)

ad astra per aspera - to the stars through hardships

Through 'per aspera,' I aim to illustrate and narrate the inner conflict that may arise when reaching for the stars, for one’s dreams, or deciding whether or not to pursue them at all. The player will become a ‘dreamer,’ a star floating through space. Initially, the dreamer is disappointed in their lack of discipline, believing that they are the sole source of their own mediocrity. Throughout the course of the day, the dreamer takes a trip to the clouds, where they reach an understanding of what it means to dream, learning that they are enough for their dreams.
