What it is about
Plagued by a cough that won’t leave you alone? This game is for you. It won't make your cough go away, but at least it acknowledges your suffering. And maybe, maybe , it'll make it a tiny bit more fun. The game is very simple. Every time you cough in real life, you get to populate cells on a sheet of graph paper. Cough by cough, you create a little 2D world or artwork. If you don't currently have a cough: congratulations! Take a moment to celebrate that fact. Then turn back. This game can only be played if you currently have a cough. Should you acquire one in the future, be sure to come back to play!
