You know, it's things like this that make me love indie games. When I stumbled on this from the game randomizer, and saw that it was a black and white pixel game with no movement animations, I was ready for another baby's first game jam sort of thing. Never in a million years would I of thought that it would be something that literally moved me to tears. The subtle story telling with how you come to the conclusion yourself that something has gone wrong in the world. The scientist trying to find answers in a creature that probably can't even comprehend their world, much less give advice for it, but is still able to find bravery and motivation through them. The parallels between a t-rex looking up at the sky and a human looking up at the stars, always wishing for something that is out of reach, but knowing that their children will one day experience it themselves. This shit is magical.

The thing that makes me love this, and love the indie game genre, is how you will never know what you will stumble across. You will never know if a game is as basic and primitive as it seems from the get go, or if it will blow your expectations right out of the water. And I think that is what makes gems like these all the more brighter. Thank you for this wonderful game, and for being part of this wonderful community.

Edit: No wonder I liked this game so much, it's from the same dev who made Red Trees. I adore the work you put into your games, and the fantastic storytelling in them.
