It was losely based on a story my grandma told me, which she heard in her small country side town when she was little. She recently passed away so I dedicate this game to her.

Amazing! I like the graphics, they look so stylish and bright. The story is quite interesting too, it made me feel emotions. And the music fits pretty well. In the end it created impressive mood of shock and feeling of making some awful, irreparable mistakes (talking to strangers, haha)
The most shocking part for me was probably the last task from the birdie. Didn't expect Clara was ready to go that far o.o
The flow of the story made me want to change something, so it's sad that player has no choice. I would like to see some alternative endings or something like that. Also noticed that the game doesn't record if you take items (like the flame, the flower etc.), so you can leave the location without taking them and the story will just move on. And there was I hoping it would be a plot-changing choice, eheh
But overall I enjoyed playing this game, nice storytelling! And Clara is such a sweet character. I loved her casual reactions xD
Good work!

Memoriae MoriorThank you so much for playing and for you very in depth comment, I really appreciate it!
I did wanted to implement and inventory system, but sadly didn't have enough time to do so! This time I decided to not have much choices, since this is the story we wanted to tell and it was designed that way. I'm all in for player choice, but sometimes it hurts the story and that's why this decision was made, but yeah would love to play with the idea! Thanks again :)
Hohohohhh my, this took a turn that I wasn't expecting. Sure, things did appear a bit sinister, but still... And the very last bit was even more surprising. Oh, sweet little Clara...
I love the contrast with the cute style of the graphics and the speech sounds. A great piece of work, overall!

Remember Upon A StarSo, I liked where this was going, including the story and the aesthetic. I was looking forward to a big turn in the narrative (which, judging from the comments, there is) but I just couldn't get past the dark cave part. It could just be my poor skill, but it seemed like I just didn't have enough time to react given how small the field of vision is. If it was meant to be challenging, you succeeded!
Anyway, overall I think you did a good job, and maybe I'll try again sometime.

String of HeartsWow! I really liked this. It looked beautiful, and in the first part, exploring the environment really transported me to another place and time. I then felt very satisfied by figuring out the two challenges. At the end, I like how the mood changed so quickly. I found it shocking and sad, and I liked the contrast between the initial environment and the environment in the final scene. What an experience! :)

Dream LadyPros
- Amazing visuals! Fantasy pixel art!
- Perfect implementation of the magical realism theme!
- The story was simply amazing: it started as an innocent fairy tale and then it took a really dark turn. I won't give spoilers for those who haven't played yet, but there are some amazing and creepy visuals and events (certain character's true form looks very Lovecraftian!)
- Sounds and music were fantastic!
- Really nice puzzles! The first one (the clock one) was my favorite.
Cons
- I encountered a game breaking bug during my first playthrough. When my character was going east and listened to the song, the game froze and I had to reset. It only happened one time, but I thought it would be good to let you know.
Overall: amazing game, with fantastic pixel art, an amazing soundtrack, and a really dark but interesting story!
I'm sorry about your loss, I also lost my grandmother (as well as my grandfather) not so long ago, so I understand what you must be going through.
I'm sure she would be proud of your work and being able to turn the story she told you into an amazing game!

60 Days till the World EndsThank you so much for playing! And thanks for the kind words I really appreciate it :) as for the bug, it's weird because I haven't been able to replicate it, but when we were testing it also happened once, I thought it was because of bad internet connection that doesn't allow the song to load so it crashes the game, but I'll definitely look more into it, thank you!
