This is such a beautiful game!! Those corrupted photos are so dreamy! So mysterious! So uncanny! And they look so damn cool with those halves of pink static.

I hope this doesn’t sound callous, because it’s such a shame that you lost photos, especially any that were precious to you, but this game is such a cool thing to come out of a crappy situation! And it’s painfully relatable lol. You captured that ‘oh shit’ feeling perfectly. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts about all of this, and whenever I inevitably lose some of my files in the future, I’m going to instantly think about this game. And it will probably make me feel a smidge better about things lol.

(It’s also been great to see everybody in the comments chatting about memories and digital storage. This is such a nice corner of the internet. XD)

I love this game so much. Thank you for making it.

^__^ It makes me happy that this game started all these comments. The crash of this particular hard drive happend years ago. So, it doesn’t pain me. I was able to recover a lot of the images. Just some of the RAW files were lost—which isn’t too bad, considering I do have the JPGs of most of them.

But the shock back then was pretty big. There are also quite a lot of files that I was able to recover, but would need to edit. And that task was too much at some point, so some images are still not fixed. Having photography as a hobby you accumulate so many pictures. If someone wanted to go through them all it would take so much time. I only do it from time to time, and only certain time frames (mostly to look for a specific motive), and that is really nostalgic and neat. So, I guess I’m still glad I have so many of them. But, I do feel like a hoarder a bit >.<

Whenever I come back to this game to read comments, I’m reminded that I should make a backup. The gaps between them are still pretty large <.<
