This was such a precious, heartbreaking little story. The imagery is incredibly vivid, and a couple moments were quite tearjerking to me. I loved the woodcarving scenes, the lonely ambience inside the hospital, and I feel like it ended in the perfect place too. Sofiya's internal conflict over her choices is quite real and goes in the opposite direction to many stories of this type IMO, and Sonya's turmoil over comforting the loved ones of the deceased patients (and whether or not the things she says are things she can truly believe in) got at me too. The game's assertion of mourning as the final symbol of love, something that Sonya *desires* to do for Sofiya one day, was also very powerful. Thank you for making this!
Hi!! Thank you so so much for the compliment and review! I really enjoyed your Rorojam entry so hearing such praise makes me really happy.
I’m glad that I could convey Sonya’s and Sofiya’s emotions in a way that emotionally impacted you, and I’m really glad the somber atmosphere i was trying to create came through as well!
Thank you so much for reading it!
