Got it! I’ve answered all the questions in my game’s description. Thank you so much! ^v^
I really enjoyed having a visual novel to read in this jam! I loved the art and the style. The characters were so interesting, especially the meadow which was compelling and unique. It reminded me a little bit of Pottsfield in Over The Garden Wall (which is one of my favorites). If I were to add anything, it would be even more art and maybe more animations because they were very effective in getting the vibe accross. Maybe also add different endings based on choices! This was a very wholesome and enjoyable entry, thank you for sharing :)
Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the game. It means a lot to me. I hope you encounter many wonderful things! >v<
wow.. this game is different and awesome and in fact very uplifting, it's also well made and the hand drawn art looks so beautiful i'm in awe
Woww, thank you so much for enjoying my work! Your words have given me so, so, so much encouragement too. Thank you so, so, so much! >v<
This one is very deep. It presents a unique view to life, encompassing self-worth, loneliness, and outgrowing the experiences we used to have. The hand drawn illustrations set the atmosphere really well. It's a very uplifting view to see loneliness as something we can embrace than as something we just avoid. The only things I hate in this entry are the flowers on the meadows. Overall, pleasant experience.
Thank you so much! Your feedback means a lot to me. I hope you have many wonderful things come your way! ^v^
How is anyone supposed to rate this without purchasing it. Too bad.
