Ooooh, it was so well-done!!! Congrats on the release!!

The game was very polished: I loved the implementation, the GUI, and the art!! Agustin's design is PEAK, the sprite is GORGEOUS and so full of personality, and the background looks amazing!! Also, the VA has a really nice voice!

For the story, it was interesting! I have never lived in South America, but I've heard it was indeed a rather pressing matter. I don't know if I'm an appropriate judge, but I thought it was handled with care, and the writing felt very authentic to me.

I also could connect it to my personal history. For context, I was born, raised and still live in France; however, from two Algerian parents, who came to this country at 3 years old for my mother, 7 for my father, with my grandparents being in Agustin's shoes. And I think that, in the recent years, a lot of stories have portrayed stories from my perspective: realising the sacrifices that have been made for you, dealing with the expectations your parents/grandparents have due to their sacrifices, while still living a life authentic to yours. However, this initial perspective, the perspective of my grandparents', who had to leave their country to another, in the hopes of giving their descendants a better life; and yet, how difficult it must have been to leave everything you've ever known, to go to a country the language of which you don't even speak or read, in their case, is more rarely tackled. And this game connected me to that, so thank you.

Aw, thank you so much Chim!!!

It was honestly really intriguing to me to hear of your perspective! It's true that to many people this kind of thing is probably more something that their parents or grandparents did, and perhaps they're not faced directly with the thoughts of having to go through the same. I think it's still super important to see stories from a perspective like yours, though, as I find it really interesting too and I'm sure it connects to the experiences of many!

In my case, it's like I know both sides, in some way. While I don't know in depth the sacrifices of my grandparents and great grandparents who had to move here, dealing with these sorts of feelings myself due the constant conversations of leaving the country does give me an idea. I imagine it must have been much different, given the contexts they lived in in comparison to mine, and yet there's something there, I feel. Just like Agustín said, it feels a bit ironic to me how I may have to leave the place my ancestors came to seeking a better life.

Either way, your comment was super insightful and it made me happy to read about your experience, so thank you for taking the time to write!!!
