I loved it and showed it to my kids! They loved it too!

If you have the time, can you play and rate my game, too?

Developer

Aww that's great to hear, thrilled that you all enjoyed it.

Of course! Will go and play it now

you guys, what a beautiful little story. the art, music, sound and narration really worked great together to tell a soothing story.
i think you could probably even enhance the feeling of walking through the woods by experimenting with different techniques to combine 2D sprites and a 3D map to get some parallaxing effects etc. also the hard edges of the water colored trees kinda threw me off a little bit - but I'm just nitpicking here ;-)

Thanks so much for taking the time to play and comment. Completely agree that adding some depth to the scene would enhance it massively, have never tried parallax effects before but will read up on it. Nitpicking welcome, I'm still learning! Absolutely loved your game, hope lots of people are playing it

Please tell me you did the painting. It is so beautiful!

All of the art was generated with Midjourney and then tweaked in Krita. Was absolutely astounded at how good a job it does, albeit with quite a lot of experimentation as far as prompts go. Would recommend having a play around with it, it's pretty addictive.

Thanks so much for playing and commenting

Cool game! The art is really nice and matches the story well. The itch page was really pretty as well. I thought it was really cool with the narration. It would be nice if there was text too though. The resolution makes the game quite hard to play.

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play and comment! Yes would love to have added some text as well, I know the audio levels are a bit up and down. Just ran out of time unfortunately! Am hearing a lot of issues regarding the resolution too, will see if I can get it fixed this week.

Relaxing game. I think the scaling of the screen of the game should be fixed because the text at the top right can be barely seen, and I think the font does not work with the game. But still, pretty cute babu, pretty cool game. Good job!

Thanks so much for playing and the helpful recommendations! I think changing the default resolution in Unity has caused some issues with the scaling, a lesson learned!
