This game was made in bitsy, a game editor made by Adam Le Doux
It makes use of the following bitsy-hacks by Sean LeBlanc:
Exit-from-dialog
Transparent-sprites
Directional-avatar
I used mark wonnacott's bitsy-audio tool.
And colour hacks as described by andimlenny.
Also ayolland's bitsy variables: a tutorial was useful.

The story of returning snails was amazing! Snails, so mundane, so mysterious.
I know, right, absolutely inscrutable!
(thank you :))
Such a cool, mysterious-feeling game! (But I love the playfulness of the line about the bones haha)
Thanks!
I tried to hit a number of different tones and wondered if the bones line was one too far, glad it tickled someone.
this is lovely, captures a mood and a memory so well
Thank you! :)
this is so coool
Aww, thanks :)
Such a calming aesthetic. Beside that, I liked how memory's a big part of it.
(And it's nice to see a different plot involving a mother in action. Nice.)
Oh, thanks a bunch :)
A lovely little game.Brings back memories. Thank you.
Oh, that's super cool!
Thanks for sharing the photos, glad I'm not the only one :D
