Your thoughtful storytelling not only created a beautiful game, but it also brings to fore important conversations about women in #academia. 🙌 #WomenInSTEM
🌿Botany Manor is a cozy game but also a window into challenges women face in academia.
For #WomenInSTEMDay, we interviewed the devs @lauredm.bsky.social and @kittbyrne.bsky.social to explore how these issues were woven into storytelling and gameplay. 🎮
