made using SOUP JS by transmutrix, which is a pure JS rewrite of SOUP 0.91 by yarhalla, an obscure Japanese minimalist art-game where you just look around to be honest. submitted for SOUP JAM 2026! 

i asked friends to send me images of a place they miss, and questions for the future  -to have both past and future interacting with the present as you go through ABC SOUP... i'd like to think the minimalism and repetition of SOUP-likes allow for a contemplative environment. your lives are on the walls, we're all together in this time.

lowkey still WIP, i'd love to add more spaces.
