The universe is dying. Well, I'm crying. Also, not satisfied, but would not like to "try again". Please Universe, let me sleep forever.
I love your work on this game, it's beautiful and poetic.
Btw, that's a cool game I just wrote a short presentation on my blog (ermites.club), it's in French but you could see my small paper I used to play to 22 minutes
Thank you so much for taking your time to play this short game! You even wrote it down physically, and I love what you did with it! I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to do a little presentation/review on your blog
You also made me think about something I didn't consider at the time of writing the game-- that you may not feel satisfied at the end of things, but embrace it nonetheless-- because you just want to rest after living a tiring life for so long.
Many may definitely feel that way and has it been a while since I wrote this, I agree with you on that sentiment, haha! Upon reflection, I think I would probably have included a way to accept the universe's death and move on even if you feel unsatisfied!
Indeed I like the idea of having one single essay in such a "End of everything" theme & I prefer short one-shots games rather than journaling (recurring) games so I guess that's why I ended up writing "I don't want to live this again and again". I truly enjoyed this experience! and I loved your lists, pretty inspiring and cozy.
I guess people who prefer journaling/recurring games will love to try again and again until they're satisfied; everyone would play differently. In this kind of game, I can see an interesting thing: the question of the character's memory, does they remember their "previous day"?
