I love is game <3
I don't even know where to start here because I just loved this so damn much. I like hopping into things based on vibes and going in blind, just because I find things more fun that way personally and don't really have any tags that bother me. So, the only thing I really saw was the one-liner on the submission page ("You have one hour to convince him not to kill you.") and figured "HELL YEAH".
Completely did not expect where the story went in the best way possible. I opened it up thinking it would be more of a horror based on the one-liner, but instead got this absolutely lovely, heart-wrenching, bittersweet story about dealing with grief. These kinds of stories and themes generally make a strong impact on me, and definitely had my eyes stinging a bit reading through it. Loved all the endings and trying to play through and find them. I ended up getting what I considered to be the "best end" on my first go, then went back to find the others and do one more playthrough of that end.
Love love love love loved playing through this.
I'm sobbing and I can barely see the screen
A wonderfully bittersweet game, thank you. At first, I thought this would be more of a horror story, but I really love how you explored mourning and the overall somber feeling of the game. I got all the endings, and they were great; the "Live your life" one was very peaceful and made me reflect a lot. The music was amazing, as was the main menu. Great work!
The story unfolds at a great pace with each new realization adding to a touching story! A excellent exploration of grief from two different perspectives. The art is beautiful and the dialogue is natural and well written. A story that feels complete while still leaving room to imagine what-ifs before and after the events of the story. So happy I played it!
A really lovely little story! I really enjoyed the music, and it fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. It’s really cute, and I’ll definitely keep playing to see the other endings! Great job!
This was an interesting experience. The writing is nice and the audio helped make it more immersive. My first choice was to attack the ghost because why not xD Please check out my VN :)
Que puedo decir: Las imágenes están hermosamente hechas (excelente paletas de colores, me encantaron junto con el diseño del protagonista masculino), la historia estuvo bien hecha (hasta me hizo llorar algo :,U).... solo saque un final pero fue suficiente para mi para que me gustara y forme parte de mi colección de juegos (si existieran actualizaciones en el futuro amaría aquello <3).
sweet and short i love it, the music was a great touch and really paired well with the somber feeling of the entire game. left me in tears 10/10 i love suffering
Deeply touching exploration of grief. The music matched really well with the vibe and the small but personal choices were quite fitting. I played through to reach all 5 endings and the final one felt very satisfying. Beautiful title screen as well!
