[Checks calendar] how did this come out a full month ago and it took me this long to actually play it. Time is fake.
This was a PHENOMENAL hook. I think you really successfully evoke the denial of grief and make the player feel just as strongly that no, there must be a way to see him again.
Things I particularly loved:
- The UI design. I thought it was so clever to have the UI evoke a phone screen since looking through the phone is such a core part of the narrative. That kind of cohesion just feels so satisfying. (I also am super impressed by the parallax effect.)
- Similarly.... having the OST be guitar-based felt SO RIGHT given that HusbandoKun ((sorry. you let me name him)) is a guitar player. And I LOVED the moment where we got an *electric* guitar for the wedding, it felt so climactic and dramatic.
- All of the art is so gorgeous. So soft and gentle. The descriptions paired with the art gave everything such a powerful warmth, I really felt that love and yearning come through.
- I was personally attacked by the subject matter, as someone who went to a science school to study science and was doing well and then still changed majors to music halfway through.
Super excellent work, this was a really powerful time loop hook and oh boy I am stoked to see what's in store for the rest! Amazing job!!!
