Chaos. Bedlam. Anarchy. Flowers. Broken Hearts. Love Songs. Kapow. Kaboom. Oopsies. Oh no. What happened? Oops.

What is going on? Who knows anymore. So come and spend 50 minutes of your long lush life and watch a giant singing flower breath love back into the world.*

And maybe also play some games because why not?

*The flower does more than sing. And just because it tries to breathe love into the world doesn't mean it can. Wish it luck.
