Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- Nailed the atmosphere, this submission really stands on its own as a piece of expressive art. I loved that everything in the game (art, sound/fx, mechanics) supported the story and theme/message
- Less of a game and more of an experience. The story didn’t feel very impactful to me. The art style and music created a really good atmosphere, I just didn’t feel any connection to the characters.
- Big fan of narrative games like this that are meant to tug your heart! I wish there was more time with the little guy before he died so we could feel it stronger. A walking simulator by definition, short and sweet (though unsure whether I finished it?) but an adorable experience!
How does the game fit into the theme?
**Trigger Warning : Death **
How life moves forward.
There’s no traditional "ending," yet an ending awaits.
The past is but an echo. What remains is the path ahead.
Keep walking, keep carrying on.

Hi, I'm hedge one of your judges! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in at 7:20 <3 (Part 2)
godainm, Dana, u made me cry a wee bit T-T wasn’t expecting this from a game jam
The idea is great, but this realization, when a sad story suddenly appears without emotional attachment, makes the game a little funny)
Definitely the most unique interpretation I’ve seen, great job!
I really liked the use of the theme, it's very original, and the art and music fit very well with the narrative and what the game wants to tell.
Good job! :D
