Game description
A tiny pixel-art observation game about pareidolia in everyday life.

Theme interpretation
The game interprets Wave as the gentle waves of everyday life —
quiet rhythms, small shifts, and moments that appear and fade when you pay attention.
Ripples in a coffee cup, the soft sway of a commuting train…those little movements inspired the tone and pacing of the game.

Like the art style, both, visual and in sound!

Love the art! Cool game. I feel like the game is missing a sound effect when you take a camera shot. I think adding that would increase the immersion.

Found all of them!

Very nice and chill little game, love the fact that there is no time limit or anything, just yourself, the scene and some hidden gems.

That was fun to play, very cool art and the music is fitting.

Very well done!

Thank you for playing!

I wanted to express that familiar feeling of noticing little faces in daily life, so I'm really happy you could relate to it :)

What a unique game! I couldn't find all 14, and when I reached the end I wished there was a way to go back.

Thank you for playing!

There is a resume button at the end that should take you back, but I think it’s not very obvious at the moment. I’ll look into making that clearer. Thanks for the feedback! :)

Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

I'll look into the mouse click issue.
And yes, I plan to add more pages (would like to add more everyday Japanese scenes)!

Also, I can't believe I missed this, but you are right, that definitely is a big smile :D

Thank you for playing!

I spent quite some time on the art, so I’m really glad you liked it :)

Oh wow, I loved this. This game was made for me. I love this concept in real life, and in a game it’s so cute, simple and elegantly designed!!!

I had some issues with the clicking, but it made it hard to progress as my clicks stopped registering after a while. I found 7/14 :)

: )

Amazing work, beautiful art, nice concept!

And thank you for letting me know about the clicking issue. I’ll look into it and prepare a small update. :)
