This is definitely an experience...

And now I'm sad!

Incredible game. Thank you.

Wow. Just wow. I didn't expect to feel so much. With family who's had to go through situations exactly like this, it hits close to home. I love the fact that you can do so much with such a simple concept, and make me feel so much in the process. Bravo!

I like the narrative ones.

I've never played a game that has managed to create an atmosphere this intense before, especially with such simplistic graphics. I got legitimately scared and had to close the game so that I can sleep tonight haha. Will definitely play more tomorrow!

Very moody.  Definitely leaves an impression.  I thought the game was broken when the pieces started shifting but quickly realized what was happening. Great work

That was wild! great execution on the mood of the game.

(1 edit)

This was less of a game and more of an animation... at least let me play checkers and do moves I wanted to. I get that this is supposed to be some edgy story about war but I really wanted to beat that dude at checkers. Criticisms aside, well done on the art and sound, top job overall.

This was astounding. I feel like short, narrative games often end up falling flat or massively succeed in what they were trying to do. This one succeeded.
