SOLASTALGIA has been selected as one of the final showcase games of the Aware Game Awards at the BLON Animation and Games Festival in Klaipėda, Lithuania. This programme is dedicated to celebrating those games that strive to raise awareness about a range of topics, from personal experiences to global or social issues – games that focus on immersion and empathy, helping us to better understand each other and the world around us.

Check out these official nominee laurels I got. I've always wanted one of these.

Unfortunately due to budget reasons, I can't make it to the festival this year. Travelling is quite expensive and the yen is still doing pretty badly. Maybe next year :(

What's next for SOLASTALGIA?
