You are a seed.

Here, you cannot grow.

Will you sleep, die, or burrow?

An interactive poem with multiple endings, created for the week-long inkJam 2026.

• multiple endings: death, rebirth, and growth

~ Content Warning ~ 

Seed is open to different interpretations, however it implies the themes: forced displacement, war, survivor guilt, grief, and mourning. Additionally, early in the poem, some routes give the player the option to choose 'death', which is neither glorified nor graphic. If these topics may cause distress, please engage at your own discretion.
