The art is so pretty. This is a sweet short visual novel that deals with a dark topic. I can tell you likely worked right up to the day of release, but I think it was worth it. The story and art are both very beautiful. It does feel a bit short, though that is understandable with a game jam schedule. The story is sad, but I am glad that the main character (Andrew?) seems able to find a path forward instead of staying shut in his room.

Impressive to get a VN done in such a short period of time! I can tell a lot of work went into the game's art! The visuals are really nice

Amazing art and sound! Keep it up!

This was a fun read (or maybe not very fun depending on how you look at it)!  The art was really nice on the eyes, and the music created a really nice sense of space for the Elysian field.  The foreshadowing and imagery are really good as well.  As of writing this post, I've only just caught on to what Daisy's swingset resembles after taking a closer look, which is a nice touch of environmental storytelling.  The subtext was solid, with the field and Daisy's possessions seeming innocuous at first glance  -- something childlike, as good examples.

However, I do think the story could benefit from slower pacing.  The ending seemed to try to tell the reader things that would have ultimately served the story better if they were implied earlier, such as Andrew feeling at fault for what happened to Daisy.  In addition, if there was another section of Andrew dreaming before the ending to really let the previous dreams' clues simmer a little more, the ending would have a stronger emotional weight and really tug a few heartstrings.

Overall, though, I really enjoyed reading through this.  You all did very well with the time you were allotted for the jam!

Making a VN is hard, even a lil one. Good job!

I left a more in detail review on the game page, but I'll say again that I think it looks cool with outstanding visuals,  despite having some minor flaws. Keep it up!

Really cool! The story, art, and music fit together very well. The story is quite moving for such a short game. Well done!

this is more romantic drama than horror. The characters look nice though, they even turn white in the end.

An emotional story and great artwork and music that take the player on a journey with just a click of your mouse.

This game deepens me. I remember the abusive times in my life where I am depressed sometimes because I deemed myself a failure, which isn't true. But still, it looks like moving on to that point every single time, without even stopping.

This game, ohh this game reminds my worst times (I don't want to talk about it)

The art is beautiful, and music was very emotional

"You have to move on"- very sad, but very true

You guys really made very special, I hope more people play this game

Teacuppo and Impycat you people are incredible
