This is simple but powerful and absolutely heartwrenching. If it's based on personal experience, I'm very sorry for your loss

Incredible how you told such a powerful story with such simplicity. Really impressive.
This actually made me shed a few tears, brought back memories... My grandma died just this way, and my brother and sister took care of her as she slowly declined. I couldn't bring myself to watch her suffer. She had her tongue removed and couldn't talk or eat anymore. She had a feeding tube attached to her stomach that would fall out if you fed her wrong or bumped into her. She became so sad that she stopped trying to communicate, and then it went downhill very fast. My aunt lost her job taking care of her. This game depicts a very sad but very true story.
It is amazing how a game as simple as this is able to impact our soul so much. It brought me many reflections. Thank you for that game, and congratulations on the good work.
Well that was emotionally devastating. Well done- I feel like its easy to overdo something as deliberately heartwrenching as this, but it felt so honest and genuine. If this is based on a personal experience, I hope you are well
Aaaah why did you do that? this made me so emotional! I honestly loved it, and the story was so realistic, I could feel it... When I couldn't ffed him anymore... oh man! Congrats!
This narrative experience really hit home. The animations and sprite work were solid along with the story told along the way.
Great sprite work and concept! Watching that money drain away was just downright depressing.
