Ballroom Extravaganza - DPR IAN

I listened to the song, felt it was about a breakup, checked it up, saw I was right, and then decided to make it worse by making it about grief.

I thank, "Anonymous," for submitting this song, I like it.

Interesting place to go from the song inspiration. Very melancholy, and a fairly simple narrative that unfolds through two different points of view. Definitely a neat way to experience the story, and maybe a little too sad for my bedtime story tonight hahaha.

I am so sorry you read this for a bedtime story, mate, haha. But also, thank you!

Maybe it's because I'm on mobile, but I wasn't sure if the story was over because there's no mention of "end" or credit or going back to the beginning of the game, but it felt very much like a final scene so I guess it was!

I'm very bad at remembering names, but once I concentrated enough to understand the links between the protagonists, I found this little piece of life touching, especially during the second passage, so I could have the other version! 

Thanks for that!

Developer

Thank you! I shall remember to include a "The End" or credits in the future, as well.

It looks like the game isn't configured for itch. It won't scroll so it's unplayable for me at the moment. Most likely just missed checking a box when setting up the page. Very excited to play once that's all sorted out!

Thank you so much for telling me! It should hopefully be fixed.

No problem! Looks like it's working fine now :-)
