The Longing & Play During The Pandemic
27Hello friends! Today I'm talking about The Longing. It's an idle game about passing the time whilst you wait for your King to awake from slumber.
Though a game about loneliness and existential angst, the game takes on new meaning when we play it during the ongoing covid-19 pandemic.
