Here's the plan, Patcher!

The world got a bit broken. We fix it with T-shirts. Yes, really.

This app is the post office. The game is the town.

My Favourite T-Shirt is a video game about a city that went dark when its clothing trade collapsed. You mend it with real T-shirts: not bought, not invented, but ones that already exist and already mean something to somebody.

That is what this app is for. You photograph a shirt you love and say why it matters. Somebody else, in another town, receives it in their game and uses it to patch a broken corner of the world. Then they can send you one of theirs.

Nobody sees your face, and nobody can message you. What travels is a garment and a sentence about it. It turns out that is enough: you learn more about a person from the shirt they refuse to throw away than from anything they would type.

1. Take a photo of your favourite T-shirtSend it to a fellow Patcher you choose. It travels to their game, and they use it to mend a broken bit of the world.
💬
2. Tell us why you love itDid Grandma give it to you? Does it make you laugh? Three words or a whole story, both are perfect.
📦
3. Post it to a fellow PatcherPick someone whose shirt you like and send yours. It travels like a real parcel, so it takes a little while to arrive.

4. Fellow Patchers mend the worldWhen a parcel lands, Patcher players receive the box in the game, unlock it, and mend broken parts of the world with the T-shirts they were gifted.
