It an exciting Narrative based Game. The Foundation for it has been laid out perfectly. This is to be expected when someone plays a narrative-based game: you're in it for the story. Although the gameplay is basic, it's to be expected in two days. Has true potential.📕😄

I am a big fan of visual novels and related story driven games - often content with just my imagination along with the plain text in most cases, but your art visuals and the tentatively paced music really connected with me. I think I have much to learn (as primarily a programmer that aspires to make striking media paired with strong storylines) - would love to collaborate sometime!

Amazing aesthetics and very compelling story, excellent job! What I really loved is how easy it is to play, so that those with no game experience can play and get the message of the story

Hey Linda! I really liked your game, the name of the game just caught my eye because it some what felt relatable. I liked the story and the art of your game. The message was really well communicated :)

Hey Linda! I really liked your game. I think the story and visuals work so well together, and I think you've delivered the message in a really clever and thoughtful way :)

Linda, this was an incredible experience. I seriously enjoyed and loved the story and message you created. Also, your art is just beautiful, I'm blown away.

No one should ever have to be ashamed of being themselves or  judge themselves  through some artificial standards! Loved the story and the art - own who you are!

Linda you did such a gracious job at this, really. You were clearly in your element with the art style. I think you might have had a bit too much dialogue but the entire atmosphere was incredible…

Linda, this game was definitely very educational, and very aesthetic. The controls moved excellently and the mechanics were so satisfying because being able to move while having an inner monologue and reading stuff makes the game feel like it's constantly moving forward rather than just standing still, which admittedly is not something one wants to do in a scary dark nightmare forest by themselves. The topic of self-perception was mind-blowing. I loved the way you portrayed it too. The simple repetition but detailed layers and colours really emphasised only the parts you wanted to portray such as the girl's fears and her faceless double. Really cool game. Thanks for sharing it !

The tone and art of this piece are amazing. It tells such a deep story of body dysmorphia.

The audio sets the tone perfectly for the dialogue on screen, and it really draws you in at parts. Some of the earlier segments feel a bit drawn out, I think some interactive elements are needed here to keep it from being a walking simulator.

Especially near the end, the atmosphere really drew me in, and honestly it feels as if you're playing through an arts film. Loved it!

AHHHH thank you so much<3

That, was impactful, very. All the elements you used did great in setting the mood of the narrative (your music, art, colour schemes and dialogue).

I love the background music and how it perfectly sets the mood of every scene transition, the style of the game gives off the serious and dark mood with the forests and story was well told.

Just a side note when you enter the purple part of the forest audio seems to cut out suddenly and I

 want more to play:)

Yay! Thank you for the feedback<3 I really appreciate it!!!:D Will definitely look out for it next time haha!
