Beautiful! Sweet little story, now I'm both happy and sad.

The hyperbole in the grandfather's narrative reminded me of the power of imagination and how it needs upkeep and care throughout the reality of life. Made me smile!

I thought the lack of gameplay would hurt my enjoyment but as a short, interactive experience it was definitely enjoyable.

The theme, the visuals, the audio and the story telling are top-notch! I wish there was more “gameplay” to it :(

So many beautiful artistic details that I enjoyed, like the hair bobbing for example! Combine with the music, just wow! Very calming, the music alone gives a feeling of comfort and bliss to my inner child, I felt like I could close my eyes and fall asleep to it. Thank you for the beautiful experience! It's just too bad that it was cut so short, I hope you all continue to develop this!

Great visuals and music. I enjoyed the story but I wish there had been some way to interact with it and make some sort of choice.

What a cute little game. The pixel graphics were so endearing!
I think the text could have stay on for a bit longer, some longer passages were hard to finish reading in the given time for me.

Lovely looking cute narrative experience ! Good job on the art I loved the Hair bobbing up and down while walking. 

I personally always appreciate if I can click through a dialogue to accommodate my own reading speed :)

A short and gentle story, I also feel sympathetic to that.
The art also fits the game.

Good work!

This was a really sweet and light moment. Beautiful art and music and a cute story.

The end is a bit abrupt but it's probably because you didn't have the time to do everything you wanted.

Developer

Such a beautiful game and fun storyline. The fact that everything was made from scratch is crazy. Although I was stuck in an animation after reaching the end :( I hope you guys will fix the bug pretty soon.
