you leave the body for three hours and come back different

Astral projection, the way people describe it, is leaving the body for a while and coming back with something you can't quite prove happened. That is what a good short indie does.

Three hours in someone else's kitchen, or on a bird's island, or inside a dying man's memory, and you return to your own life slightly rearranged. No credits roll on that part.

This group is for games under ten hours that pull it off. Narrative, memory, grief, slowing down. We finish them, we take every achievement, and then we write far more about them than they look like they deserve.
