This is a cool idea, the story told pretty well, and the style fits very well here. Sometimes it could have been a bit more clear on what to do, but the dialogue helped here too.

What a vibe. Good job, really.

A heartfelt tale. While not a technical masterpiece, it did what it had to do, which was to tell its story (or at least a part of it).

This project seems more like a personal memento, rather than something you would ever want to sell. Maybe we should keep it that way.

Beautiful story, great two-color art, and fantastic music to go with it. Keep it up!

I loved that you chose to share a personal story with us through a game — thank you!

I believe that the monochrome art style, combined with the music, helps convey a nostalgic and melancholic vibe. When we attempt to create more narrative-based games, it’s often challenging to integrate gameplay elements with the story we are trying to tell. However, I particularly enjoyed the beginning, depicting the low stamina of the cat even to meow.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing! :)
