Very melancholic experience :) Graphics are interesting, really unique

This is a very beautiful looking game! It took me a little while to get used to using the number keys to select items in my inventory instead of dragging and dropping them into the world but overall it felt very polished and immersive. Great job!

I enjoyed this! It's an interesting story, relaxing sounds and a nice art style. Good job!

I liked what I played. But I never managed to get out of the first room. I don't know how I was supposed to go through the door. 

I liked the drag and drop puzzle, and the style was funky. Super cool.

Would love to play more. Is there a trick to clicking the door?

Oww that’s a little unfortunate x)

Normally to get out, you need to click on the door But it seems like there’s an issue with the hitbox so you might want to try moving further away from the door to click, sometimes being too close doesn’t work :c

I hope you enjoy nonetheless and thank you for playing our game <3

the art design is great and really enhances the story's theme, which was also very well done. hate to admit that i had some issues with clicking things, especially the first door. but very well done overall!

There is a bug with the first door. Also, I have already played your game and I absolutely loved it! Thanks for your kind words!!

Loved the story, the art design and the sounds. Very nicely done and very touching.

This game is magnificent! The story-rich content and lore about the protagonist and their struggles made this game more appealing! Great job on this!

Very touching story. The artstyle was trully beautiful, and probably what I liked the most about the game. The music was pretty nice. I actually played the game without music from the browser the first time, and came here to comment on that. That’s when I read about the bug in a comment. So I donwloaded the game and played it again, but now with sound. It definitely added to it.

A few things I want to comment about the gameplay:

  1. I think that having some faint indicator that something can be clicked would improve the experience a lot. I found myself clicking almost everywhere to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

  2. When you’re reading the notes, you can actually click what’s behind the UI that comes with them. In my first playthrough, I missed the last notes because when I tried to click one of the arrows, I clicked the door that was behind it.

  3. The arrow to read the previous notes doesn’t seem to be working.

But those were all minor issues. The game was lovely. I found myself unwilling to put the last photo in its spot at the end, just so that the character could stay there for a while longer. Excellent work!

Thank you so much for the feedback, we greatly appreciate it!

Now this is one of my favorite games among all in this competition. Excellent sound, game design and style. Respect to the artist! There is also a very immersive atmosphere and a story of the game that touches. I really enjoyed playing!

I think you made a touching story, and the art and music were amazing! I also liked the puzzle side of it. I would have appreciated some hints to determine what was pickable; I often clicked around to find out what I could pick up. I also think the Chrome build has a problem because I couldn't get out of the first room, but the game worked well on Edge. Congratulations on the game! :)

Developer

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game! You may have been standing too close to the door, I believe it is a hitbox issue. Thank you so much for the kind words!

Well done! nice art style

This was amazing, great job. It's heartbreaking and the mechanics work super well together with the story! Masterful

The game has really good style! I like it!

Submitted(+1)

The visuals were stunning & it was a very touching story - thank you for creating this :) Sadly the audio didn't work in browser and didn't realize there was a download link until after i had finished it! I think it still says a lot that it managed to still be very touching despite that!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!

For the audio, it seems like Chrome users might encounter some random issues with sounds but it worked on other navigators (at least Firefox and Edge)

It’s still very heart-warming to know you could enjoy our game even without sounds <3

Submitted(+2)

Excellent work from all involved! The art and sound design really brings it all together and the emotion comes across so well. It was very compelling and I just wish there were even more little puzzles to solve.

Submitted(+1)

This game is beautiful! Both the story and the art. Such a great little point and click you have here. Well done! Audio doesn't work in the browser, so definitely recommend people play the downloaded version! Soooo good! 

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words!

For the audio, it looks like Chrome users might encounter some random sounds issues but it seems to work with other navigators (at least with Firefox and Edge). We still need to figure this out but sadly, we won’t be able to fix the browser version for now as it is not game breaking :c

Beautiful game, I loved the character designs and art style. I was very invested very quickly haha. The score is wonderful. Unfortunately, audio doesn't work in browser, but I was able to hear everything once I downloaded it. Congrats!
