- An excellent use of the theme to tell a touching narrative story. The gameplay is fairly simple and it's not immediately clear what to do at first, and there's not much to it. It fits the narrative really well, though.
- Thanks for being willing to share such a personal story. The erase mechanic was an effective tool in your storytelling, I think most effective when you inverted it to be filling into. The two juxtaposed was a solid effect. The pages where the player must erase the entire page significantly slow down the pace. You might consider varying the size of the "brush" depending on how many pixels must be erased. It was a very good call to not require all of them to be painted. I'm guessing you set it to 80-90% of the total? Pixel art was well executed. A few tweaks to your interactions, otherwise well done!
- This was just great. What a creative way to tell your story. And I absolutely loved how erasing became revealing! The music really help to set the feels as well. Not sure if you're actually looking for feedback on something like this. But if you are, I would say that the amount of erasing got to be a bit much. So much so that I was starting to lose the narrative. Possible make erasing "faster" or maybe even better maintain the text somehow so the narrative remains? Regardless, great job!
