That was a beautiful experience, and probably the game with the closest interpretation of the theme to my own that I’ve played so far, about exploring the relation between Humanity and the Divine. Absolutely loved your take on it, the idea is really wonderful and heartwarming. Loved the atmosphere and the way the music slowly builds up, amazing work on the piano, strings and choir sections. And the slow walking definitely helps the player reflect on what they read, it’s a very good choice.
I love the aesthetics of the game a lot, the unified earthy colour palette, the choice of fonts, the way the text is displayed in fullscreen slides with the satisfying sound effects, and the thematic congruency in the design, which extends to even the theme and font choice for your itch page itself, that is something I really appreciate. Also this is what I chose when questioned by the Divine, probably a bit audacious? But that’s how I truly feel.
I was a bit stumped at the end when this scene kept on playing, I thought I probably unlocked an Easter egg with my response, and the Divine truly blessed me with her eternal presence…
…but then I read everyone else’s comments to find out that was the case for all. 😅 Even though it’s likely unintentional, it does feel quite meaningful, maybe also letting the player move around during that and appreciate the Divine from all angles could be a fun thing to explore ha ha.
Overall a wonderful experience and I loved it very much. May all your needs be met! 🙏
