  • Game looks amazing. The pixel art was on point, and the music choice fit perfectly. The interpretation was different, and refreshing. My only critique lies with the dialogue handling, it would be nice to be able to press a button to move on to the next line rather than waiting a predefined time. Great work, as always. I look forward to seeing what you do next, with this or anything else.

Great story telling and matches the theme. Not my sort of game as really more of a story with scenes. Good work however and will no doubt appeal to certain gamers,

Well, this meets the mark on the theme. The story telling was great and the music and art was done so well. Great jam submission. As far as a game.. not fun, but as far as a grasping story, really well done. hats off to you!

This game really stands out because it is so different from anything I have played so far.

Art style was great and you really captured the inner turmoil that resonates within  when you suffer from depression.

Lovely concept for the game. Art was good and it was a nice change of pace from the other styles.

Got around to playing it(thanks a ton) and I must say, it's an incredibly sweet story.

The game itself is... Well it's a walking simulator with cutscenes, which isn't my cup of tea, but I certainly appreciate the storytelling and art.

Music got a bit repetitive and my extremely pedantic brain got hung on some minor punctuation mistakes but that's not really a biggie.

Fantastic work!

Hii, yes i decided to make it a short, walking simulator narrative game focused on a small, sweet story of development. 

One because i didn't have enough time to make what i wanted but because it felt like the right route for the story it's about :)

Ah yes sorry for the informal writing, i tried to make the writing feel like two friends having a conversation :)!!

Tysm, i really like your game too and its style!!

I really really really wish I could experience this game, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the best game in the entire jam. Sadly there's no windows build available - If you made one and just uploaded it and pinky-promised me nothing is changed that would be lovely :D

Developer

Do you mean browser build? because there is windows build in the downlaods!
