- I didn't get much of the spreading theme, but I felt the engulfing darkness creep closer. Very emotional game and well done, you should be proud of what you created here. I feel like it helped me understand dementia more, and it gripped my heart. The graphics, animations, darkness, and sounds / music were all perfect for the game.

Extra Notes
Currently there is a bug with the reset that occurs when the fog reaches you. If you get reset by the fog, unfortunately you will need to refresh the page. The reset is causing a soft-lock due to the memories not getting set back to the correct order. Sorry for any inconvience.

Oh my god what a game. What an experience. It really felt like I was experiencing dementia first-hand. Thanks for making it and raising awareness. The music and art style just bring it all together. Great job!
Glad I could make you feel immersed into the story that I told. Thank you for playing!
This is a really cool game that speaks to the human condition and makes you feel something. Unfortunately some bugs exist that prevented me from completing the game.
Thank you and my apologies again :(
The art is simplistic yet great, The ominous music feels good and the concept fills the environment with great sadness but it is an overall great game. Good job. I can't wait to see what more you will do with it.
Thank you for the kind words! (Also music is not mine, it was exactly what I wanted though.) This project meant a great deal to me and I look forward to continuing it.
If you guys add it to steam comment and let me know so I can add it to my wishlist!
Will do!
Ominous music.....I want to go explore but how do i go to find stuff.....cute trail effects on character.
Thank you. As for finding stuff, you can ping the closest item to you with spacebar. That will also ping the fountain so that you don't get lost.
