This was a visually lush game with a very earnest narrative. I had trouble with the second photo for quite a while, though, and I'm really not sure you needed the picture taking minigame - the ever-looming countdown to grandma's operation haunted the game and was more than sufficient, I think. But wow, man, the final conversation between the two characters was a very deft way to cap off the story. Now, why is someone chopping onions next to me?
I really liked the art, especially in the context of the game.
It was nice to see a contemplative game with a pretty atmosphere like this one. I couldn't help but find myself rooting for the characters to find whatever peace they could.
One thing I wasn't sure about: The framing of the second photo seemed very different from the memory. I ended up finding the right angle mostly by luck. Was there an extra clue I was missing?
What a beautiful game!
This was a really pretty game, and the narrative and art direction are top notch! You really managed to capture the tone you were after, and the whole thing feels really cohesive. Nicely done!
2 minor things:
All in all, very nice work!
Thank you for playing the whole game and leaving a comment! we appreciate the feedback!
Beautiful story. Brought back memories of my grandfather. I had a great time, but the second level was a little frustrating with the flowers and the position for the photo. I'm a sucker for narratives like this.
Thank you for the comment and feedback, we appreciate it!
An incredibly well executed artstyle for a game jam.
I’m always impressed at people tackling serious narrative games for jams, since the inherent scrappyness of jam-projects makes going for atmossphere such a gambit. You really pulled it off, though - great work!
You guys did great as well! Thank you for checking our game!
Really beautiful work! I absolutely loved the art style, and the artwork is gorgeous. Every scene feels carefully crafted and gives the game a very strong visual identity.
The art team truly created a work of art with the visuals in this game. Everything comes together beautifully and makes the whole experience even more memorable. Great job!
Love the artstyle and the narrative design :)
This game really looks incredible. It's not my genre, but surely well done. Good job!
Thank you so much for checking it out!
Wow. I have no words. This game is incredibly made, and the balance between gameplay and storytelling is absolute perfection.
The whole game felt incredibly personal, and I felt that I could relate with everyone in the game. As I find myself in a similar position, this was a very emotional game for me to play, and even if it were short, it felt like I had played through the last days of someone precious.
Incredibly beautiful and the music only heightened the experience, wonderful job to the whole team.
You're too kind! Much love, I truly appreciate your kind words! Thank you for playing and I'm sorry to hear that you're going through similar times. I hope this game offered a sort of solace. Thank you!
A bittersweet story!! It was impressive you guys were able to create a game of this depth with all these mechanics in such a short span of time! Gameplay wise, I found myself often trying to interact with objects before they became interacteable, such as the coin (which was clearly going in the vending machine)- perhaps moving them a bit out of sight or reach would make it feel more coherent? Had a great time, thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for checking out our game! We appreciate your feedback and kind words! Our programmers really cooked with making the mechanics in such short notice!
Enjoyed the sentiment, the game was quite pretty. The connection between photos and memory leads to a good story.
Thank you so much! the writers really cooked!
Lovely thoughtful idea for a game! It took me a little while to realize that I needed to match the photo of the bench to move the story along, but after that I liked trying to line up the perspectives just right.
I am glad you enjoyed it! thank you so much for playing!
Absoloutely wonderful story, I'm so glad I got to play this! Thanks viho for submitting. The artwork is amazing too!
Really somber story, the idea of living memories during a count down is a nice take to the theme I haven't seen implemented yet.
Gameplay can be fleshed out a little more, but once things clicked, the flow moved nicely
Art and music help set the mood really well!
Thank you so much for playing the game!!!
This was a nice narrative experience. It's a tad bit dialogue-heavy for a jam game, but the story was still nice and heartfelt. I like the variety in tasks from just taking pictures to picking up trash and arranging flowers. The art is also really nice and the piano sets the right mood. Probably my biggest suggestion if you try to make a full release out of this is to be careful with the use of billboard sprites as it makes it feel weird to try lining-up pictures.
Thank you for the kind words and suggestions!!! We appreciate you playing the game!
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Thank you!
A beautiful story that plays with emotional themes in a very effective way. The artstyle's awesome too, great job!
Thank you for playing the game and the kind words Dodobee!
Love the art style and premise. I admit I got stuck very early; I tried to snap pictures of the benches to match the photo in the upper right and tried to interact with the things in the park by pressing E but nothing seemed to progress the story. I'll try again after the jam.
ah! that is unfortunate, i see some players are having trouble! Hopefully you can give it another shot after we polish it more. Thank you for playing it!
