Cool to see a narrative focused entry! The music was wonderful and the story really touching. I almost didn't want to turn around and go back, but I had to keep on going!

I really love this game.

I like how it's more story focused. It's refreshing since most people went for something more about gameplay.

The levels could have been more interesting. Maybe some side paths, or furniture you'd have to walk around and interact with.

I think the story more than made up for it, though. It felt cute but very real.

And the music was also very nice.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! It really means a lot.

As for adding some interest to the levels, it'd definitely be something I look into if I revisit this game! Unfortunately as a one-man team, there was only so much I could add in just 72 hours. I appreciate your feedback, and thank you for playing!

The story is 😍 and 😭 Wonderful! I loved how the path went smaller and smaller on the way out! How the music kept adding elements as the relationship grew! The way back was very emotive 🥺

Great job! Probably the only game I'll see in this jam that is so narrative focused, but the narrative is great. I do wish there was a little bit more gameplay to make up for all the reading though.

Great story! I wish there was a little more gameplay, maybe like moving traps or something. The music fits very well and I enjoyed playing this game nonetheless!

I really like your interpretation of the limitation! These types of narrative games are up my alley, so I hope you make more.
