I've only unlocked two endings so far, and normally I would wait until I've played through them all, but... Not this time. I need to throw relentless praise in your direction, because it's more than deserved. It's been a while since a story has touched me with the softness and loneliness that come with languished grief. I absolutely loved experiencing Jo's story, and it will stick with me for some time.
On the surface, this seems like a simple story, but there is so much depth hidden underneath the pastoral charm. So many wonderful details that I only discovered on my second playthrough when I stopped, slowed down, and breathed in the atmosphere--like the blue thistles leading my path through the forest all along. I thought I would need to remember the choices, but the answers I needed were there all along, almost like Marta herself was guiding me.
Absolutely well done. Thank you for sharing. <3
