This was beautiful. It was sad and painful. It was scary. And it was hopeful.
I played the game over three days (didn’t find the time to play in one session) on a recommendation by Abbie, and I had no clue what expected me. The story was soooo good. The music was fitting so well and created such a great atmosphere. I loved how you contrasted the fear and self-doubt with encouragement. She was facing so much, and it never felt like she could overcome these things easily—if at all. But still she faced them. That was such a powerful motive. There were so many strong lines in here. The pixel art helped so much, with creating the atmosphere. The moments you switched from full screen to in-game view worked really well. I was afraid I might become stuck at some moments, but the game always led me to were it wanted me to go. So being stuck never was an issue. (I did seem to skip the credits somehow it seems >.>)
Thanks, this was a really touching experience.
