I failed to warn her about scammers and the guilt carried over toward the end where I thought her message would be that she was panicking because she had lost a ton of money. Though it didn't happen I was relieved but the guilt still lingered even after the game finished. The phone sound was a little loud for me at the start.
Thank you very much for your feedback!
The support for your mom's illness as her child, while taxing, is important, and as the game mentions - sometimes it also rewards you with happy memories to hold onto.
Really lovely and naturalistic. Phone vibrations are the ultimate anxiety jumpscare!
The prose is immaculate and beautiful. It's all perfectly succinct and flows really, really well. The story itself was also heartbreaking—I'm gonna call my Mom.
Such a touching game on a difficult theme. Nice immersive writing, visuals, and the game mechanic really matches well with the topic. Very good job!
this was so much fun! The texts were on point, really smooth and easy to follow along. Texting with mom reminded me of my own in some aspects.
This is great! The experience is complete. 72h to make something like this is impressive! Congratulations!
A beautiful interactive short story! The theme is a wonderful interpretation of resilience and the art, though simple, complements it well.
Wow, that was pretty interesting. It reminded me a lot of when my mom was taking care of my grandma back when she was struggling with dementia. It really captured that mood so well, so having that past experience for me really helped to get the best ending in this story. Overall, I was very impressed with this.
Damn, this game made me anxious and kept me on the edge of my seat. It kind of played with one of my biggest fears, and I stayed there from beginning to end. The ordinary atmosphere around everything only made it feel even more tense, so to speak, but in the end I loved the fact that it’s a short and repetitive demonstration of love. Sometimes just showing that you care is already everything
Thank you!
