Samara

In Samara, you play as the wind, guiding a maple seed across a 250-year generational story. It starts in the past, where you have to save a single seed from a tree burning down during an attack. Fast forward to the present day, and you return to that exact same tree—now old and dying—to look after her final two seeds. The heart of the game comes down to a personal choice. Do you let her offspring fly far away into a busy city, or do you plant them close so she can watch her family grow where it all began? It’s a short, peaceful, and bittersweet indie game about family roots and learning to let go.
