Damn, I was really gearing up for a ritual to bring my family back. Which probably says a lot about me. Acceptance was probably healthier. The voiced parts really helped build a sense of loss, and the (what I call) nightmare portions were a good "show, don't tell" concept to illustrate how he was living with his grief.
Wow. This game really hit hard. I love these real tales that just hurt to play. I'm sorry I bundled this as part of my Halloween games list, I think it's more important than the average jump scare games. I honestly loved it.
Uploaded a video on your game and I absolutely loved it! I loved how it was a horror game but, also a story driven game at the same time my favorite kind of horror games are the ones with an interesting story. :)
I have to say, most free indie horrors are boring and crap, but this one was actually pretty good. It really touched on a subject of family members dying and that's a subject I am unfortunately going through right now. I give this game a 7.5/10 and I recommend you play it! You can checkout my short but sweet playthrough of this game instead, if you want, here:
Hiya, I'd like to start off by saying that I really enjoyed your game. It's definitely a horror game but not in the way that comes to mind for most people. There aren't any jump scares or in your face moments, but rather subtle changes to the atmosphere that give off the sense that something isn't quite right. Visual wise the game looks quite good, I definitely noticed the attention to detail in the environments. In terms of story, I like the way it's structured, most if not all questions get answered by exploring and taking the time to read through and ponder the notes scattered about.
My only gripe would be with some of the voice acting, doesn't really hinder the overall experience of the game too much, but it didn't add much either. It's a nice touch to add to the game though.
All in all the game is a great experience, it tells a tragic story that could happen to anyone, but more importantly it gives a visual and auditory representation of what it feels like to go through an event like that.
I'm glad I gave the game a try, I hope you don't mind but I made a let's play of it for my channel.
It's so great to see Aussie devs bringing out quality games. Yes this game is not perfect, But it has soul, and it has meaning. I think too many people on here judge these games as if they have been produced by AAA developers with AAA budgets. Great work team. I would love to see more form you as you progress in your studies. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
Remembrance is titled as, a horror game but, I wasn't struck with the horror vibe of this game. Not saying it was bad not at all just the experience I had was more on the atmospheric exploration side.
Thanks for your feedback! While we are not your typical "jump scare" horror there is something deeply terrifying about the psychology and experience of loss. Not everyone gets it, and that's okay!
In regards to the "other stuff", please let us know (if you find the time) - it would greatly help us consider any changes that may create a better experience for similar demographics.

Great game, but very short. The story here is a lot deeper than I thought and has some great atmosphere!
Great and insteresting game.. I liked it.
A beautiful game. The athmosphere was great.
This was interesting and quite sad, well done on making this.
Oh man, this is heavy... Nice work.

Thanks for giving me a way to remember someone I lost not too long ago!

Nice.
This is not a horror game. This is a work of art. Good going guys.
This was really well made! The story and everything was very well done! :D

BTW.... Is Molly ok? :(Game looks awesome, I thought this was going to be horror, but it wasn't, atleast not IMO. The male voice actor needs to practice a lot more.
There were other stuff too but I'm just going to leave it at that.
