Wow, i'm playing it right now, the soundtrack is just so moody and lovely. It really reminds me of places of the past that I wish I could feel again, but wouldn't want to stay in. There's an emotion that your content gives me that I can't explain, and this game really captures it. I look forward to continuing now.

Ahh thank you so much as always!!!

This one caught me by surprise. Finished the game and I overall genuinely enjoyed it. I had no idea what to expect but the further I went the more invested I was. It's like entering one of your paintings and getting to experience them on a more personal level, it felt almost as if I've entered 'someone's mind at times. I'm not much of a reviewer but I'm glad I stumbled upon this today. I really am. There are couple of very very gorgeous and detailed sceneries/backgrounds and rather dense moments that I still can't get out of my head. I have a feeling I'll keep thinking about this later on.

Thank you so, so much. I really appreciate that you took the time to comment! It's surreal to me that other people are actually playing this thing.

So I just finished the game and I really, really liked it. I honestly wasn't expecting much but you put a ton of content in there. Your art style really compliments the whole theme and the soundtrack went along perfectly. They just went together really well. I like the chaotic and broken aesthetic (which made me laugh at all the crayon).

Some of the scenes were just spot on. Like all the notes about how many days your food will last you and that part where you read (what I assume) are all the dream snippets. Every bit of dialogue you put in the game is very believable and natural. Honestly, I'm a little worried about how many parallels I was able to draw with this game.

I really liked all the ways you switched up the gameplay so it wasn't just walking in a 2D plane. I never knew what to expect going through the next door and I really enjoyed that part of it. Something about the window automatically resizing to the frame helped the game seem more personal.

How do I give you money? I genuinely feel bad for playing this for free. I would also kill to get the soundtrack.

I hope this isn't the only game you end up making. You have a real talent for it. Regardless, thank you for taking the time to make this game.

Thank you for playing! I appreciate the detailed reply, it means so much to hear that you enjoyed it.
If you want to donate, then you can pay what you want for the soundtrack, but don't feel like you need to!

This is familiar to me.
Feeling like i was playing a game about my life.
I think such sincere projects are most valuable.
For the first game is very good
and very lyrical.

Thank you!!
I'm so glad you connected with it.

Hot damn. This whole thing is a magnum opus, and I adore it greatly.
Thank you for sharing ♥

Wow! Thanks for playing and I'm glad you liked it. You're too kind.

I've finally finished the game and it was really touching. I enjoyed the whole ride through. There were definitely parts where I can relate to and know that feeling. But damn, I was immersed throughout the whole game.

Thank you so much for sharing. For creating this game. I really loved it and glad to have come across your stuff.

Thank you so much for playing all the way through!

You're welcome! It makes me wish Ollie was real.
Those were my favorite moments.

Just...wow.

It's criminal that this isn't as known as Undertale. I only found out about it recently from  stripedcrocodile posting about it in his Discord and good lord this needs to be seen and played by way more people than there currently have been from the view count on here. It's fucked up but it's exactly the right kind of fucked up to put a spotlight on very real issues and how easy it is to get stuck in a depressed loop that leaves one feeling like there's no way out.

I ended up playing through the whole game in one night and I'm glad I did.

So many little touches that could easily be missed that offer extra insight, yet I'm still worried that I may have missed things.

Oh thank you!!
That means so much.

my partner insisted that this game was something that i should experience and that i'd enjoy playing. i finally allowed myself to enjoy something for a few hours and just finished it, and i really liked it.
it has certainly given me a lot to think about, and taken me back to some places and thoughts i hadn't visited in a while. i enjoyed all the aesthetical and gameplay decisions, and some of the musical mentions such as steve reich, burial, and others - were scarily familiar, not to mention all the self-awareness, humour, and even the relatability of a lot of the ideas and thoughts explored throughout the narrative, and it felt very strange to see things i've only thought of in my head be materialised to exist outside of it and seeing it infront of me, there's a lot of very disturbing thoughts i've found very relatable that hit home sometimes too closely. i can't really say how much i appreciate that you made this without going on a whole personal tangent, but this got to me, and it meant something. i'm sure it means something for others too. thank you for putting this out there. thank you.

aaaahh wow, thank you so much for playing, and for taking the time to leave a comment. I really really really appreciate it <3
