Midwest Goodbye

Saying goodbye at any function in the Midwest takes seemingly forever, but you have other things to do. Start a conversation with this narrative deck builder that follows you through moments of your life and makes you want to call your grandma. Using a deck builder as a metaphor for growing and changing as a person, Midwest Goodbye asks you to relive various key moments throughout your life with your family. While you might’ve wanted to get out of a conversation with your grandma quickly at first, taking your first steps into the world on your own might leave you wishing you’d spent a little more time talking with her.
