The first thing that came to my mind is the so-called "sonder" - the realization that each passerby is a unique and complex human being on their own, with their own worries, backstory, hopes, dreams and fears. We start off looking through our own window, and what do we see? Almost nothing. But even if we do not see something or someone at a first glance, it doesn't mean they are not there.
Very intimate portrait of human's psyche and their worries.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable game about one of my favourite pastimes... people watching!
As the story progresses we learn more about the people we can spy from our apartment window (or perhaps it's just what we imagine them to be going through), and we get to decide what direction their lives will go in.
It really is a wonderful story about looking through a lens and trying to grasp what humanity is all about, and I loved every second.
Another cracking game from the team, and I hugely recommend it!
Asides from the stories, the art style, please the choice of music in each story really sets the mood and it really gives me vibes on what to expect in each story. Great job on the choice of music~!
And as a uni student too, I experienced some parts in the game that gave me the light of what might have been.
Really loved the art style and the concept. I just wished the dialogues were narrated which would have enhanced the experience of the game. Overall nice game i would say!
Nice game! Loved the stories and the ambientation ;-)
Just a couple of minor improvements:
There is a small typo in the spanish translation of the first decision for the student. In the first option says "Lara" while in the rest of texts it says "Laura".
While in the title for a new story, if a click for skipping it, the music stops abruptly. A fade out would be apreciatted.
Other than that I enjoyed playing the game. Good work!
Thank you for your feedback, we never noticed those errors and we'll fix them as soon as we can! Also, thank you for playing BYW, we're happy you enjoyed it!!
a very nice little game!! it does a good job on evoking that very specific feeling of losing in thought while looking out the window. it felt that way for me at least. i really like the choice of colours for each diff characters! plus the choice of music the art style are super neat!
Was a really good game, that showed a lot of interesting concept and breaking the fourth wall. The art and music went hand in hand was really well made!
Very nice little and delicate visual novel about choices and consequences. I really liked it. The game is polished and graphic and music fit perfectly in the game mood.
i played the game and it was fun! Comment down below if you want to see more of me playing this game. Anyways it would help alot if you check out my channel and to subscribe. Thank you!!
