HINOKODO

MIRU I is an analog adventure game where you explore uncharted territories, survive thrilling situations, and search for treasures while you hunt down a god for revenge. This unique solo-first game has you rolling dice, drawing maps, solving cryptic puzzles, and exploring a world a century from now. No two playthroughs are the same!

This is the 2025 edition, a 64 page mono-color stapled-bound zine, printed on uncoated paper, and proudly Human Made. Every physical copy includes the digital edition via a QR code printed in the book.

I’m sending out a little announcement that my games are made by me, a human. Not AI or similar generators or tools. And to signify this on my games, wholly inspired by HINOKONO and others’ similar messages, I have been adding “Human Made” imagery and notations to them. I’ve added these signifiers on some of my game pages already, and I will be adding them to my other game pages soon, too, when I get some time to do so.

So, you’ll see something like this on each of my games soon enough:

These works were made by a human (or, in some cases, multiple humans). No AI or machine-generated works are included in these projects. Supporting these projects means you are supporting real human beings who have dreams, passions, and bills.

Thank you.

The “Human Made” icons are used in good faith, made by HINOKODO, and distributed in their Human Made asset pack. If you’ve got any games or creative works that follow suit, I recommend you do the same!

The games and projects I have added these signifiers to so far are the following (each of which, and more, you can get from my page on itch.io):

Treasure Trader

Patchwork Memories

SIGNALS FROM THE DEEP

L.A.B. Crawler Mechnicians
