I felt the emotions so sincerely I cried while voice acting it out loud 😭 I completely forgot people were in the same room as me. I was immersed in the story - in Gad's life - and in turn what should've been. I also love the changes in facial expressions that was timed so well with the writing pauses. Everyone involved in the making of the game deserve an applause 👏
THE END WAS SO TRAGIC. POOR GAD. I'M SOBBING, He spent so many years of his youth to get his lost love, only for him to realize he must let them rest, and in turn let himself rest. But still I wish for there somehow to be a happy ending, even if it's in my imagination :'(
Man, that was really sad in just a few minutes. From all the visual novels I had I thought Gal was a yandere but I realized that Gal couldn't cope, he tried so desperately but just couldn't. I'm so glad in any and all endings the MC, though doesn't have their memories, still treats Gal tenderly as though somewhere inside of them still loves Gal no matter what. And for Gal who had known the harshness of life to have the one good thing taken away from him, god no wonder the man coped the way he did in such a delusional way. At the very least MC was able to give closure to not only themselves but to Gal who desperately needed. I do agree with one of the comments (Ebbasuke) that the game having no audio (whether it be music or sound effects) was really weird and kind of off-putting (especially when music suddenly pops in at the credits) but the short narrative was melancholic enough that you could overlook it. A wonderful story with beautiful art, I wish Gal and MC all the best.
Hello Coda! I really enjoyed this, it was beautifully made! Do you have an email where I can contact you? I'd like to talk to you about the possibility of translating This Life Escapes Me into Spanish :)
This was one of the most beautiful visual novel I've played. Short but full of contents, tragic but with [ SPOILER ] an happy end. [/ SPOILER]. Great art, next time maybe you could add a bit of ambient sound.
Beautiful! I'm a sucker for melancholy. I found it a bit disturbing that there was no sound until the credits though. Could've used some ambient sound effect (wind, water, leaves, etc.) in the background. For some reason, the full-screen button and config button were on top of each other, but I didn't really need them while playing.
Holy shit, I'm so mad- I love this so much, this game is so good, but-! I can't handle sad endings like this!! Thank you all for your hard work!! This is such a good game!! I'm so angry about this!! I'm so glad I played it, thank you again!

The story is short but the ending brought tears to my eyes. The ending broke my heart o(╥﹏╥)o
Lots of emotion in a small game - good job!
Holy fuck this was perfection. Also I was just thinking how wonderful a prequel would be and the announcement is just above the comment box.
It's also just a perfect ship dynamic and I absolutely need to do some writing of my own inspired by this.
Man, five stars for the story. Simple, yet somehow passes the emotions through. Very good work!

mobile browser: text starts at the VERY bottom of the screen, and any li es under the first are off it. 🤷
this should not have made me cry as hard as it did I-I
This visual novel is amazing. It's short yet powerful and beautiful. I look forward to the prequel!
I'm crying like a baby. This one breaks my heart more than it should oh god
I loved the melancholic atmosphere of this game along with its beautiful art <3
