Description
The corporate slave, who desperately needs money, agrees with the buyer to courier the program-packed USB stick tomorrow.
The night before sending out the courier, he involuntarily opened the game. Accidentally bumped into his own self (ten years ago), who had just released the demo data.
The conversation between the two across time heals the hero and restores his hope for life.

The origin of the story stems from the fact that the producer had been in a small team of indie game creators with two programmer friends, and after releasing a DEMO of a game that no one noticed, the team disbanded, and the group returned to their daily routines. I think the whole process was very much like creating an animated work, and from that, we had the idea of wanting to use game making as a setting to tell a creator's story that encompassed my personal feelings. When I was a kid, it was handheld games that brought me non-daily, imaginative adventures, and in terms of animation, games are a much more appropriate setting for the kind of wildly imaginative animation that I want to show.
In terms of art style, I personally prefer old 90's animations, and pixel games, and 8-bit music. These elements are like my cells that make up my aesthetic direction. In every detail of this film, I tried to put in as many of my favourite things as possible to make the film as complete a representation of myself as possible.
