Summary

A non-fictional auto-biographical visual novel about Zhenghua Yang
(Z) and the near-fatal incident which led to the founding of
Serenity Forge.

"I cried, but not because I wanted to live longer. I cried because
I realized how painful it would be for the ones who love me".

Loving Life is a short, non-fictional auto-biographical visual
novel created in 2012 by Zhenghua Yang (Z), the founder of Serenity
Forge, as a reflection on a near-fatal incident that changed his
life.

Story:

At age 18, Z was a typical college student: driven by academic
performance, struggling with family pressure, and wrestling with
the viewpoints of his peers. However, as his first semester of
college came to a close, his ordinary life would dissolve... with a
14 hour nosebleed and mere hours left to live.

Loving Life is Z's honest reflection of this episode of his life,
weaving between prose, dialogue, and dream, as he traverses the
deadly space between his present life, his past, and whatever that
may come next.

Features:

Loving Life was the first product released under the Serenity Forge
label, and it marks an origin for the studio's commitment to
emotional honesty, artistic experimentation, and narrative
exploration. To commemorate Serenity Forge's 10th anniversary, we
remastered Loving Life with a raft of quality of life enhancements.
Now, fans of the studio, new and old, can see where it all began.

A Personal Reflection: As an auto-biographical VN, Loving Life
tells its story with equal parts poetic recollection and honest
conclusions. Read Z's memories, follow his thoughts, and live
through his dreams as he navigates this profound episode in his
life.

Beautiful Visions: All of the game's art is hand-painted, from
portraits of Z's friends to the surreal dreamscapes he traversed
while in recovery.

The Origin Story of Serenity Forge: Experience a story that
reveals the cultural foundation of Serenity Forge, and that itself
is an example of the studio's experimentation with games as vessels
for meaning and emotional impact.

Remastered for Modern Platforms: Play with modern conveniences
such as font accessibility controls, audio controls, text speed
adjustments, and select remastered assets, with corrections to
visuals and rendering on modern monitors.
