Beautiful little game, really enjoyed the experience : the soundtrack, the art... This feels more like a little movie than a game, but I find that the story was well adapted to this format. Lots of potential in this team!

- clxrffdman's feedback: Gameplay: In terms of gameplay, it's mostly walking and interacting with people/objects, which is fine because the focus of the game isn't really on gameplay, it's the story that's being told. Reason it's 4/5 was that I couldn't figure out the controls for a bit, I know they're on the actual game page but some in-game UI indicator on some of the document controls would have been nice. Art: Overall, I liked the artstyle, some people might say the pixel art is simple but I personally liked the style combined with the parallax effect that was applied to most of the assets. Some weird bugs with the shadow caster but overall the lighting effects were also on point and added to the experience. I also loved the narration text that would fade in while exploring the scenes, they really make a difference. 5/5. Music/Sound Effects: The background tracks were all excellent, but the ending track combined with the amazing narration is what really sold this game for me. 5/5. Overall: Great work! Excellent story to tell and the execution was about as good as it gets. 5/5
