I really enjoyed this experience; the art and visual aspect combined with the well-designed game mechanics take the original narrative power a step further, creating an atmosphere that conveys what you wanted to tell. Great job!

great atmosphere and art, it really tied everything together well! i liked that even though you as a player follow the main character's perspective, he's clearly his own character and has specific, narratively imporant flaws - we just kind of happen to be here for this bit of his life. very nice!
Really enjoyed playing this one, pacing was well executed. I really loved all the details that interacting with the environment gave you and the way it supported the storytelling. I think what stuck with me is that both characters showed flaws in their behaviour. I was empathetic towards Leon at the start but there were moments I didn't agree with his choices. I think that captured how complicated and layered relationship problems could be. Art style is beautiful too :)
Great game, it was interesting to go through. I love the vibes, music was super loud at times but all of it was really well chosen just volume levels were odd at times. Also I started on mobile and had to switch to computer, because it wouldn't let me see all the options. So at first I thought was i not understanding some kind of puzzle lol.
What a gem. The writing, the art, the atmosphere, I really liked it. Great game, guys!
