I loved the writing, art and music in this game. Left a powerful impression for such a small game.
Beautiful art and music.
Loved the story !
What a way to write a poem. Utterly hypnotic.
Fantastic writing. I really enjoyed this. The art and music was beautiful as well. From a gameplay perspective I found it really effective how you indicated where to go with the yellow colour.
Thank you for sharing this.
Really beautiful game and loved the ease of navigation to unfold the story. Not sure I see scale much in here but really amazing work.
this was really touching for me. Was not expecting to play something like this. Thank you for this experience.
Finally, some artsy game jam! I love me some artsy game jam. I loved the experience!

Wow, I felt sad and nostalgic about events that didn't even happened to me :,(
In love with 1-bit style graphics, the mountain scenery is wallpaper worthy
Great narrative. Now I want to go to the mountain as well...
I really love your work. Everything is atmospherically beautiful, stunningly poetic.
But I'm slightly confused that this game has been submitted to so many jams, and it doesn't really respond to the theme "scale"?
This was a beautifully written game. Great atmosphere, and we loved the stylistic visuals. When we got to the last monologue in the sky, the music faded off perfectly when the subject was mentioned (trying to be vague to avoid spoilers). Not sure if this was intentional, or the music loop restarted, but it made the moment impactful.
If you continue working on this project, we'd recommend making the music more reactive to what you do in game / what you're doing in the story. Overall, 10/10 would play again

Amazing narrative. If anyone record the game play please reply . I want to read ending again.
Also let us pet the cat!
Never thought such a simple pixel art style could give me an existential crisis... Well done!
That was entrancing. Very impressive.
