Okay I will just come out of the gate and say that this game is laser targeted to me. I love endings, and changes, and uncertainty and hope. I love the cold and the cozy and the melancholy. As someone who also wrote their novembuck about the push and pull and change of a romantic relationship, I like seeing someone else explore a different side. There's just lots of little pieces that I like, and it helps smooth over the rougher parts of the experience. There's the legless behavior sprite, for instance, and sometimes the color font change and the format changes are a little jarring. But for the most part I actually like those. I like that super depressed Felipe narrates his life like a nature documentary before pulling himself together. That altered headspace really is like that. I especially like the part where he realizes that describing himself as "without" really is accurate. When you lose a longterm relationship, it can be like losing part of yourself, but also like something perforating your reality, something changing on a fundamental level, and you can't go back. I like that Bernard has this NVL format wall, narrating his experience almost like a novel, or a story book. And the music perfectly accents the sort of bittersweet melancholic feeling this game is going for. If I were Bernard i would simply not fumble my moody somewhat closed off coyote boyfriend but that's just me. I think it's a really strong first showing from the team, and I hope you come back and touch it up a little. Good work!
