Selfless
A downloadable portrait for Windows and macOS
Selfless is a sketchbook of interactions, illustrations, and photographs. It's the feeling of watching, waiting for progress to occur.

All proceeds will be donated to the It Gets Better Project. I'm asking for $7.70 with each download as 77% of LGBTQ youth in America say they know things will get better. Being able to share this game now, I know things do get better.
Update 4/6/19: I'm now asking for $4.20 with each download as 42% of LGBTQ youth in America say the communities in which they live is not accepting of LGBT people.
Update 4/13/19: I'm now asking for $2.60 with each download as 26% of LGBTQ youth in America say their biggest problems are not feeling accepted by their family, trouble with bullying, and a fear of being out/open.
Update 4/20/19: I'm no longer asking for required donations. Selfless is now free to play. All further donations will continue to benefit the It Gets Better Project. Donors will receive a digital pdf of the Selfless artbook/zine/poem.
Update 4/20/20: Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and resources to supporting both this work and the It Gets Better Project! I am proud to announce that together we donated $214.60 towards this foundation! <3

Selfless embodies everything about its creator, Easton. It shows his incredible artistic abilities, his keen eye for details, his love and compassion for others and, most importantly, his ability to stay strong through whatever life throws at him. One can feel the time and dedication put toward this project. It is beautiful, full of love and is an experience one can't forget. Truly phenomenal.
BOO BOO
Selfless was such an incredible experience. The visual was so calming and breathtaking, and I am truly amazed by the the vulnerability and resilience throughout the story. I saw the searching and finding of self. I felt the love and pain of growing up.
