A very moody game, loved the atmosphere! Very nice pixel art style. I liked that you added a little movement on the story scenes. Interesting choices related to memories and social behavior.  Great game!

I liked the combination of mechanics, the dialogue choices and the interesting story, nice job on it!

This was just a home run for me. All the elements and ingredients ended up being the perfect combination and I really got invested in the story with the multiple endings.
Excellent work!

Beautiful game and presentation

You did an amazing job with the game and its atmosphere. I love the idea of this being a person's last stand before judgement. One bug I did encounter is that if you press the spot where retry is after it fades away, it resets to your last check point. Not game breaking, but something I wanted to let you know of.

Thanks for letting me know! I never would have thought of that, bugs are so funny!

I love the aesthetics of the game, looks great.

Developer

Thank you so much! It was my first time doing pixel art :)

This is my favorite game yet! Well done on the story aspect and overall creation of this game. I would love to see more!

Submitted(+1)

Very well executed game, I love the way you tell a story, the ambiance is great. I just got confused because I understood the first time that you can go to the next dialogue by pressing space. Then at the end of the game I finally understood that I could make choices along the way with my mouse.

Really nice game with a lot of emotional impact. That's super tough to get in a jam game, but you did a great job.

This is a special one, what a beautiful presentation!

My only critique is the ending I got on the second playthrough. I chose not to pick up the ant, but said I regretted it. Then I interacted with the student and interacted with the familiar face, asking for advice and having positive experiences.

Then the spirit told me I wasted my time, was CONSUMED BY RAGE and would spend forever in purgatory, not sure if I quite why those choices lead to that outcome when the previous playthrough was so much more pleasant (even though I didn't go talk to the person but chose to pick up the ant the first time) lol.

In any case, it's a wonderful game, love the haunting music and visuals!! Awesome job!

Thanks so much for checking it out! Yea, unfortunately, the ending system is a little janky, since there are multiple ways to evaluate to the wrong ending :( Sorry you encountered that! Checking out your game now :)

Developer(+1)

Nevermind, you made Extinction Denied!! I absolutely loved it, thank you so much for checking mine out

Submitted(+1)

Haha, no worries! If it's unintended, that makes more sense. Still love the game! :)

Submitted

Nice experience. I wanted more. Also, do you choices impact the game narration?

Really cool!

Developer(+1)

Unfortunately, they really only impact the ending. I wanted to add a bit more, but so little time! Thanks for checking it out, I loved your game!

Submitted

what a lovely game <3 . you really did a great job putting a lot of mechanic to make it feel so polished! lighting, movement, camera transition, dialog.. just wow!

Submitted(+1)

Silly me did not realize there were choices and I pressed space, leading to the worst outcomes for the first 2 memories. then it was to late. I really enjoyed this game, great entry with awesome presentation and music. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Me and my gf really loved your entry!
