Pretty Peggy

A nostalgic collection and dress-up style video game.

In part because this was entirely coded in P5 JavaScript, I wanted to make a game that emphasized narrative and character design. In many ways, Peggy reflects the way I felt about myself at her age (awkward, chubby, and ugly), but through the rose-colored lens of self-love and nostalgia that comes with time. I think we all wish we could go back in time and tell our smaller selves that it'll be okay—when I was Peggy’s age, the only person I would have believed was myself. There are many endings for Peggy, but there are no bad endings.
