This game is so sweet!
I don't know why this actually nearly made me cry, I think it's because I also have a close relationship with my mother so just seeing the dynamic really made me feel close to the story. I also really like the simplistic story telling and the snapshots of each of MC's life as told by her need to bandage things. Honestly, to me it sounds like everytime the mother calls or she calls the mother, the bandage is a way to signify how the mother helps fix the small incidents MC goes through and is a reminder to be careful and to always take care of herself.
Honestly I really adore this concept! Love how cute yet heartwarming it is!
This was such an adorable game! Got me appreciating what milestones the stuff around me has reached with me
cutest short story game ever! i was tearing up, worried something bad would happen, glad it didn't! makes me miss my grandma a lot. thank you.
This was a really sweet game
This was such a cute short story game, would have been so sad if Mom has not picked up...
I liked how the Daughter finally called the bandages "tape" in the end, that gave the story it's final touch <3
I loved this so much!!!
Omg I'm so glad there wasn't a sad ending where the mom dies or something
so cute, thanks for that <3
Aw so cuteeeee <3
amo
Sobbing and tearing up TvT im in love with everything about this game
Q_____________________________________________Q im emotional now................... gotta go write my mom. thanks!!!!!!!!!!1
oh, cool perspective and gameplay loop
this is really nicely put together!
This is so cute and i love how each tape coincided with a different stage in her life.
I loved this, it made me think a lot. And I'll be honest, this game did make me shed a tear.
Why did this actually make me cry... tho tbf I've been stressed and emotional lately
this is the CUTEAST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
ohhhh i cried like a baby this is so cutee. brb have to go call my mum (currently living in a different country) and tell her i love her
This was so sweet, great work!!
She kept on getting huurt when she called her mom. but also such a sweet game. ( karen better not grow up to be a karen)
Oh my gods, this was so cute!
AHHH this game is so cute :,)
<3 short and simple thank you sm for making this : 3
OMG my heart. Thank you for making and sharing this!
aw i had a little cry at this, that was so sweet :*)
haven't thought this little thing can be made into a game so sweet...
when they called it tape at the end omg <3
This was so sweet. <3 You told a beautiful story through the dialogue and bandages.
that was so cute, it's a short but good experience, love'd it. it warmed my heart ^^
awww :]
I loved it! A wholesome game.
This made me tear up a bit ... I can only imagine how much the main character went through - moving to a new country at a young age, finding love there, and raising a kid in that new country. Loved how you tied the bandages in & the ending! It's true, we are just like our parents. What a lovely, lovely game. 100/10
Pretty cute and heartwarming! Not' sure why, but I expected a dark or sad twist after the black time skip screens at some point. But I was pleased to see it was simply nice through and through! Maybe I played too many things and just reflexively expect drama in a story, lol! Or maybe one thing that's sometimes hard to interpret is what the conversation is about because your mom "................"s. I think the idea is to interpret it your own (Maybe personal) way or to just wait for the revelation, but it can lead to all kinds of potential guesses and kind of makes me feel like I missed stuff.
awww this is too sweet!!
Such a sweet, wholesome, short yet beautiful story 10/10 <3
this is so cute
this is so cute and wholesome.... the way the mother kept calling it tape and watching this person just grow up, AUSJDLKJAKSJD I LOVE ITTT it feels like im viewing this from the mothers perspective, watching my daughter grow up and marry a nice man and have a child (named karen..😒) and ASDKJALSKJ ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
what cruel women would name their child Karen in 2021?
Lmao I said the exact same thing!! Hahaha ^D^
lol this is a fun game. i was pretending that the mom was talking jibberish so i kept making wah sounds lol
