Love the retro graphics, and the bizarre story. A few more choices would be nice.

Definitely needed some more time to cook, I feel like this has some potential to be expanded upon!

I like the minimalist 1-bit style. I wish there was more to it in terms of gameplay

Enjoyed this a bunch! The game has a very strong style and I like the way text blocks show up two at a time, wanna do something like this too now. Actually heard the poem before so it was a nice realization to see it in the end; I think you did it justice. Great job!

Wow this is beautiful... I really like that it didn't go in a direction I thought it was going! Cool aesthetic too!

I didn't know the poem used as inspiration, but the game is as strong as the poem telling the story - especially for such a short game! The pacing and text made me really care and think about my choices and the art did an amazing job enhancing the creepy ambience. I love it.

I loved it! Really great game. Although it's short and simple, the artwork and narrative are a real piece of art.

I loved the mood, ambience and storytelling part of the game. I played through it a few times to cover all options. Also love the artstyle, reminiscent of the original macintosh era. The story was quite touching as well, the mother and father's roles, the relationship to the animal, etc. Loved it, great job!
