This was such a satisfying game, and so polished too! I liked exploring each memory in 2d to learn more about the story, and the decision choices always felt impactful. The music and sounds were really well done, and I loved the textures you were able to include in the background images, super cool and helped make it feel even more dreamlike. Even the fonts were awesome! Great job!

I'm not sure where to start, in short amazing. The music has such a nice vibe, the art is beautiful, the characters look cool, the environments have that peaceful yet slightly unnerving vibe. The writing works great at pulling you into the story. Truly an incredible experience.

Really incredible job nailing the the tone on this one - a really stunning mix of nostalgia, unease, and liminality.  The textures of the music and art blend together smoothly, and facilitates telling a really haunting story with care. Great job all around - this is a really strong entry, congrats!!

Through subtle art choices and engaging visuals the experience manages to capture and keep your attention in a meaningful way. The dialogue strings you along until you’re enraptured by the subtleties of the context hidden in every aspect of the game. Stylised cleanly with no lack of characterisation the whole game ends up being a very charming experience. My only grievance being that there’s not more story to enjoy. You can feel the passion and care poured into every moment from beginning to end, a real love for the art they’ve made by the creators that’s missing in recent far more large projects released by bigger names. The game leaves me worried about the futures of it’s characters and wishing them the best having had a peek at their struggles.

i really struggle to put into words my thoughts, but this game is so special...the feeling of relief from the good ending and the gut punch of the bad ending are both so effective. this game is beautiful in every single aspect. amazing work, seriously, the love put into making the game really shows. 

wow!! thank you very much.. i'm so glad our hard work shone through!! o(>ω<)o

it really means a lot that you were able to play through and experience both of the endings <3

It means the world hearing this.. I hope you understand this means so much to both of us as creators knowing our hard work was effective <3 thank you so very much <3
