Nice enough game, pretty simple! It was a bit hard to work out where to go all the time in the game. But the story was very ... distant. It was a very good story. I like it, but wasn't that impressed with the story all that much. I couldn't always work what was going on.

Edit (15/08/2021): Admittedly I'm not sure how much sleep I was on when I wrote the first part. Cringy. I meant to say I liked the story, but it didn't really speak to me as I felt like the intention was. It was more of ... the observer observing the observer vibe rather than truly being connected to the word and the character. Added clarity due to comment below. ;)

Deeply sorry you were disappointed in my comment. I did not mean to offend. Just because the story didn't resonate with me does not mean it is a bad story, simply that I was not the intended audience. I can tell that effort and love was put into the game and if I truly disliked it, I would not have played it. It simply was not for me. But I am sorry if my words were ill-received. I was simply trying to be honest about how I viewed the impact of the story telling on myself and leave a comment to reflect my reasoning.
Regardless, I hope you have a wonderful day and joy in your projects. Not everyone is going to like all of your games - the important thing is that you found joy in making them and I can see from your comments that it has touched many others. The fact you have found someone who it hasn't touched as greatly isn't a reflection on your game quality.

At any rate, wishing you all the best!

Mint

i really appreciate you taking the time to clarify your previous comment, i definitely read it in a negative way (perhaps even more than you had intended). i now understand what you mean a lot more, thank you for this!

totally fair to feel that the game wasn't for you! it's a bit out there and admittedly deliberately written to be poetic and somewhat ambiguous.

i have a lot to learn still...

thank you mint, and i do wish you all the best also.

Glad things got cleared up!
Also, I'm pleased to find that your other game, novena, was one of the first I ever played on itch.io. :) It was one of the beginning games of my 'favorites' folder. Just wanted to note that.
(I think it's, like, buried in my '5 stars' folder, but it is indeed there, all the way at the start.)

Please do continue creating! Whether one story is or isn't for me, it deserves to be seen. ;)
