very interesting concept , really enjoyed playing

Really interesting concept, and a great sense of atmosphere. I have no experience with Catholic tradition so I think I might be missing a little bit of the experience that way... everyone gets 1 Our Father and 1 Hail Mary from this confessional, haha.

Small comment: the audio was very loud for me, turning it down or offering a mute option might be nice.

hi! thank you for the comment about the audio—i'll be sure to adjust that for the next release.

i loved the happy/ambiguous ending i got in your entry, it really added to that specific, bittersweet feeling of summer break :)

The soundscape and aesthetics are superbly mastered. The concept is simple but super effective, and the fact that you can interact with the characters in such a minimal way as to give them back their coins is a real bonus.

I loved this experience, this decorum opens up so many possibilities it's super inspiring.

Thank you, thank you!

This is so good. I love the atmosphere and that you get just enough of a window into these different worlds to feel overcome by the experience. What a great concept! The country where everyone forgets in the new year is gonna stick with me...

It's pretty good. The game keeps my attention and has me thinking a bit about my choice before making it. I can see how the chosen songs have inspired its creation.

I haven't found something I've adored like this in such a long time.

There's something simple about people watching- just seeing strangers go about their days and nights without much else to it. Knowing that yes; there are people that can see you, no; it doesn't mean someone's always watching; always listening.

It took me a bit to be able to connect the main inspiration song to Night Confessional, but I'd say that's on me.

I love the world we get to see.

Thank you.
