This is simple but powerful and absolutely heartwrenching. If it's based on personal experience, I'm very sorry for your loss

This actually made me shed a few tears, brought back memories... My grandma died just this way, and my brother and sister took care of her as she slowly declined. I couldn't bring myself to watch her suffer. She had her tongue removed and couldn't talk or eat anymore. She had a feeding tube attached to her stomach that would fall out if you fed her wrong or bumped into her. She became so sad that she stopped trying to communicate, and then it went downhill very fast. My aunt lost her job taking care of her. This game depicts a very sad but very true story.

Well that was emotionally devastating. Well done- I feel like its easy to overdo something as deliberately heartwrenching as this, but it felt so honest and genuine. If this is based on a personal experience, I hope you are well

Developer

Thank you for kind words. It is indeed based on personal experience and it was a rough time but no worries, I am fine now.

Great sprite work and concept! Watching that money drain away was just downright depressing.

I loved the concept, and all the designs and animations. Great work

I remember the game That dragon, cancer where it tackles the same topic

Thank you!
