huge congrats on this game, the concept and the sensitive implementation are amazing. The artwork and the color palette are both lovely (especially love the fonts). I could see this game developed forward such a unique take on the theme and on the disease as well. great great entry!

I won, why am I sad :(

Very well done, love the limited color palette, minigames, clear hints and simple controls. IDK just imagined this, but it felt like the music was missing notes as the game progressed, which is a nice touch. Relatable stuff.

The palette is "Dno't Froget" by sukinapan on lospec
I'm so happy you noticed the music changing! I was worried it wouldn't be obvious enough.
Thank you for your kind words!
