Wow, I’m in tears. While I had some trouble following the story, the emotional beats hit me hard. I’m in awe of the stargazing visuals … coincidentally, the vastness of a galaxy has been top-of-mind for me, too, while creating during this game jam… it struck me to see someone else make that connection to the artistic process. We must be drawing from the same truth ^^ I was close to overlooking this game and am grateful you called attention to it in the discord. It deeply resonated with me and has been a standout experience during this game jam. Thank you so much!

I like the story, and sounds, and music! And the art at the beginning was so nostalgic, reminded me of anime I watched long time ago! Good job :)

Hey! I was really impressed by your unique art style (I’ve never seen anything like that in a game before) and the way you tell your story through camera movements and shots. I saw you already kind of mentioned that at the end ^^ but yes, it would feel even more fun and more game-like with a bit more feedback and interaction (a good source of inspiration for me for dynamic dialogue would be Undertale)
Also, I just wanted to say that even though I’m not a native English speaker, the story still gave me chills. Great work!

To me personally this felt like poetry about identity. Having problems with how what you do as an artist defines you. Every decision speaks about who you are. How can that be so devastatingly hope-crashing. To make something that enters this world as an inferior experience, in a world so saturated to the brim with grandeur and colorful, exciting success stories. Committing to complete something finite, flawed, and limited. Something boring. Accepting yourself as a person who is not a main character, a person that makes things that don’t really stand out, in a world that celebrates standing out. Avoiding that fate and doing nothing: having no voice, no self-expression, nothing. Finally embracing having to go through a difficult process and making something. Something within the boundaries of your decisions and budget. Saying to yourself that you will be your friend, even knowing that we are naturally our biggest and most difficult critics.

I like it. You already know it's not so interactive as a game because like you said you had more plans for it, but it's more an experience as it stands right now. And that experience is one of those cases where I'm learning something about someone through their art. In that regard, I guess you could say that the interactivity doesn't necessarily have to be a conscious effort of input on the end of the player to achieve some virtual end, but rather considering how the player resonates with what you shared, and how you've interacted with the people that play your game, and clearly based on the message of the game, how they've interacted with you - maybe not directly, but how the concept of our perception of your experience has manifested itself in how you made the game. Pretty interactive for a game with just a few choices, I'd say. Also, I like the music that plays in the end. Good stuff!

just finished the game. very touching, my favourite one i've played in the jam so far. very creative art direction, really unique and memorable! the writing was really high quality, i'd love to see this game expanded upon more with more branching paths. i can see there was a lot of love put into this game, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your story. I can see what you might have been going for, and how you turned that into something smaller and manageable for the jam. I admit that I don't fully understand it, but I'm guessing that's because the idea you're wrestling with was intended for a much larger experience.

The panning shots are clean and the art is intriguing! I can tell you put a lot of effort my friend. It looks like a mix of 2D and 3D that is dope.

Nice art!! I'm not much of a reader so I can't say much about the story but the aesthetic is really pretty ^o^ Wish there was more gameplay mechanic though!
