The Boy in the Forgotten Painting follows Reki, a young boy fascinated by a painting his mother once loved.
Dreaming of living inside it, he runs away from home with the painting in his arms, wandering through ponds, bridges, and landscapes that mirror its imagery—searching for a doorway into the painted world.

At the edge of his journey, he finally steps into the painting, only to discover that its end leads back to the real world.
In this quiet loop between imagination and reality, the world of the painting becomes real, while reality itself turns into art.

This project reimagines how unreachable dreams can shape one’s perception of life.
Every impossible thought, every naïve wish, is what keeps us alive and makes our world more beautiful.
Through this game, I hope every player can step into their own “painting,” and embrace the joy of impossible dreams.
















































I write stories. I design spaces. I create experiences.
