Well.. This game has the best message of any games of this jam i could test.
Very emotional and a gripping story
I came into this game with pretty high hopes, as someone else on my team played it previously and said he ''cried like a little b*tch'', however I didn't feel the same. I concur with another reviewer that the dialog could be expanded, and the have given different endings. It has good potential though, and I'm excited to see what you do with it.
After playing this, I feel like I should say thank you. This game is bittersweet, as your character has to reconcile with her decision and with those around her. I understand that this was made for the jam, but I think you could get a lot out of expanding on this story more. Maybe having branching dialog where the player has to pick the right answers in order to find peace. Either way, short but sweet game, and the music added a lot to it.
Thank you.
Good music, very short story. Kinda wish the character was explored more in depth.
Simple game, somber music and super sad. I don't know if this was what you meant, but I truly did not get a good vibe out of this game. Maybe that was your intention, but it wasn't really a good view on this kinda stuff in my opinion. I could be viewing it wrong, but it was kind of shaming someone in this situation? And the ending haha "Suicide isn't the end....is it?" Idk, it felt kind of tone-deaf. Again, could just be me. I've lost a lot of friends to suicide.
Idk, you made a game about the subject and it's a tough subject to make stuff about that will resonate with everyone. I guess I wasn't one of those. Congrats on making a game in time and writing a story and music and everything needed! Most people give up on these kind of things, so good on you for persevering.
I guess it's a very personal subject. I've lost several friends and am suicidal myself but... I don't know. I like the tone. Half-cynical half-serious. Doin' joke on it helped me a lot by the past and I think it's the point here? But I know we all vibe differently on death, depending of the moment, the past and... a lot of stuff.
Take care.
