Why I Made Stretch

Stretch is a visual novel about youth, disconnection, and the awkward space between conformity and rebellion.

I’ve always had a strong discomfort with the school system in general, especially middle school, and this game is a response to that. It’s not a “school life” story in the cheerful sense—it’s about what happens when you’re not one of the popular kids, or even part of the crowd.

There are jokes, detours, and strange moments, but underneath it all is a very personal message. I hope it resonates with someone out there.
