Upon seeing this I fell in love with the solemn art style of the game!

Adore the way text is displayed. Look so cool lol. One cons I’d say is the font. I suggest using a serif font, it’d fit the game’s style better.

This is a short, but rather touching game. The choice of art and music is to me perfect. I’m intrigued by the one ending where you decided to surrender to your feeling. I know that she did surrender, but still, I wonder if the knife and the thing that appeared at the end are some sorts of symbolism to Silvia trying to fight back and stay strong? The scene where she sits with Simone then becomes motionless hit me the hardest. And the poem at the end ties the plot together really well.

Overall, this is an amzing game! Congratulations!

And heck yeah, Moonlight Sonata.

Thank you so much for your suggestions! We'll consider them.

And the ending where Silvia surrenders is mostly ambiguous. It doesn't have one way to interpret it so feel free to use it as a symbolism of Silvia's strong.

This is a very wonderful game! The visual and audio is amazing and create such an fantastic atmosphere! The story and characters are very well-written and engaging. Really great work on this!!

This game was really nicely done.  I loved the art style and thought the choice of black and white paired perfectly with the tone.  The choice of music was really nice and the triggering different songs with different dialogues was great.

The art is very nice, and makes the gaem very unique, although it jumped a bit for me to have contrasting art styles between the characters and the backgrounds. The story is simple and relatable, congratulations!

Developer

We had 2 different artists for the graphics so I guess it's normal that they used different styles ^^

Thank you so much for your compliments! ♥♥♥♥♥

Pros

  • Fantastic visuals and art style, 10/10. I was amazed by them!
  • The music was amazing and very fitting! I especially loved the credits music and now I can't get it out of my head!
  • Great use of sound effects.
  • The magical realism theme was implemented very good!
  • The plot was incredible. Very dark and engaging, as well as very sad. The atmosphere was also really good, like there was this sense of opression, despair and mystery.

Cons

  • I wouldn't say this is really a con, but I would have loved the game to be a bit longer because I was enjoying it so much!

Overall: fantastic game, an amazing work! The visuals are among the best I've seen. I can see a lot of effort and dedication went into this project, and you are a very creative team with plenty of talent. Congratulations!

Thank you for your support!
Everyone on the team worked very hard and we are super happy that you enjoyed the game.
I’m  very flattered that you liked the credit song! It was the only piece of music I composed for the soundtrack, and I didn’t think anyone would notice it specifically. (^▽^;)

Thanks again for your awesome review!
