I really enjoyed this heartfelt and reflective puzzle game. Some puzzles were delightfully challenging for them seeming so simple. The characters had personality, the situations were dramatic, the time + color switching was cool, and it made me wonder what it would look like in my own life. Some concerns would be that the dialogue translation is jarring, the framing as you walk into rooms may exclude necessary information (didn't see the character being talked about initially), and that the puzzles didn't seem to require me to engage at an emotional level. It felt like a small window into someone's life.
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! We’re really glad the story and characters connected with you. Your points about the dialogue, room framing, and connecting the puzzles more closely to the emotional themes are really helpful, and we’ll keep them in mind as we go forward. Thank you for playing!
i love the color scheme of this game and despite it being low poly u can tell so much about the characters through their poses and designs and the lack of faces adds to the haunting nature of the game. i also like how the opening cutscene was very linked to the items in the game!!! cool concept and awesome execution ^_^
Thank you so much!! We are glad you were able to enjoy the simplistic approach of the game. We put a lot of thought into connecting the items to the story, so it means a lot that you noticed! ^_^
It's really cool
i like this narraive, artwork and creativity
I'd just add a cursor and a highlight for the items you hover over.
But overall, it's really cool.
Thank you so much for playing! We are glad you enjoyed it. There is a crosshair option in settings defaulted turned off. The glowing idea is great though! Thank you for the advice. :)
This game is really nice! I really like the concept of stopping the time Its really creative imo. I had a problem with the interactions sometimes, but other than that i really like it!
Thank you so much for the advice! I am glad you enjoyed the game. :)
