Design Statement
The sound track gives a warm and nostalgic feeling yet it is very hopeful at the end. We want to connect this feeling with personal experience as a pet parent, dealing with loss and memories we share with our pets. We want to invoke resonance with whom also shared a similar experience with this game.

This game is so good! The story and twist is set up so well, and the ending scene is really polished! I wish I had some sort of overlay when my cursor was above an interactable object, but everything else was really easy to pick up. Great game!

the art and final scene edit is LIT and also the easter egg at the end surprised me. Took me a while to solve the third scene but the plot is worth it. I rly like the illustration, very coherent style too.  ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ
