Very intriguing game dealing with doubt, esteem and identity. I thought that the Fosc Jo was dealt with excellently and a few of the scenes really hit home. We've all had times that we've felt like Alea. Really touching narrative with very spooky elements. 

Great Job, well done.

A sweet, short game that tackles identity and the metaphor, if I'm right about it, is very relatable to me. I do really like the story and the art, especially the background art because of its painted and somewhat surreal feeling. The music was also great.

The game is, in fact, VERY good for its length the experience  and made me think about it after playing, which is nice change of pace from set-in-stone, concrete stories. Great game!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the game. It means a lot to us on the team. Each of us did our part when it came to the story, the writing, the art, the music, and the programming. I'm glad it all came together to make a great game despite the short time frame and the unexpected challenges we had to go through. Thanks again for the feedback!

I really like the story and the music.

Did someting happen to the main menu's background? Maybe putting the second splash screen as the main menu background would fix it.

Overall, good game.

Hope you the best in your future projects.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the game. All of us on the team worked together to make a great game. I'm especially glad that you liked the story and the music. As a narrative designer, it always nice to hear that the reader likes the story. Our composer on the team produced great music and under a tight deadline so hearing that readers like the music goes a long way. As for the Main Menu background, I suppose we were so focused on getting the rest of the VN put together that we forgot to put that in. Something to keep in mind for next time. Thanks again for your feedback!

Nice usage of the doppleganger/duality theme. The music is really nice, but quite jarring when it is interrupted for sfx, or occasionally jumps back to the beginning after choices. I really like the background arts but feel like we didn't get to see some of them enough to appreciate them (the park in particular). Leaves me with a lot of questions but part of the enjoyment is the mystery.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you liked the game and the background art. All of us on the team worked hard on the project and under a deadline too. You're right in that we could have done a better job with integrating the music. That's something to keep in mind for future projects. Thanks again!

Great spooky but real take on identity (without spoiling too much)! I always love when games incorporate culture into the story line; it makes the game feel human! Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you, all of us on the team worked hard on this VN. I'm also glad you liked the cultural element to the story. I guess you could say that was my personal touch since, like the main character, I also come from a background where Spanish and Catalan are used as languages.
