Welcome to Sleepy Tea, a gentle, game-like seed where your imagination returns to the table.
Set in a nostalgic tea room, you reunite with your childhood imaginary friend—Willow—who guides you through the brewing of a magical sleepy drink. Together, you’ll choose enchanted ingredients like hushberries that only ripen under moonlight and sweet somethings that echo your quiet victories. As the pace softens, your cup slowly empties while Willow shares stray thoughts, silly memories, and soulful scraps. It’s a soothing ritual for anyone in need of a soft reset.

Calm Waters Ahead
THE BOATMAN WHO FREES BURDENS
Calm Waters Ahead is a meditative river ride through your stream of consciousness, guided by a soft-spoken boatman spirit who knows how to carry emotional weight.
Set in a Nordic-inspired dreamscape, the river winds through the Forest of Burdens, where worries and questions quietly surface—doubts, fears, tangled thoughts—each one gently met and released into the current. As you drift toward rest, the boatman offers quiet reframes: “You’re not meant to know everything now. Let it unfold.” The journey is slow, steady, and soul-settling—a bedtime voyage for restless minds.

Smoke in the Snowlight
WATCH HIS CABIN WHILE HE’S AWAY
Smoke in the Snowlight is a quiet favor wrapped in snow.
A soft-spoken lumberjack has asked you to watch over his enchanted cabin while he’s away—just for a little while. Styled like a hand-painted diorama, this seed is made for restless minds that find comfort in stillness, in spaces where nothing is urgent and everything moves gently. Snow drifts. Fire crackles. Strangers pass through. Smoke curls into the pale sky. In tending to the cabin, you tend to yourself. Sometimes, the best way to rest is to have a little job that asks nothing of you.

Dive into End of Summer — featuring at SIGGRAPH 2025
A boy navigates fleeting a childhood friendship and discovers his own queerness across three pivotal summers in 1990s southern China.
A deeply personal 3D-animated memoir, "End of Summer" explores themes of impermanence, memory, parent-child relationships, queerness, and the first stirrings of romance. The film is set in a 1990s apartment block in southern China—the dormitory of Zhanjiang’s first metalwork factory, where my grandfather was stationed after his military service.
