Hi! I played the game and first and foremost: THE REALISATION??? It was MAGNIFICENT! How the writing, the GUI, the sprite art, the music, the background art, the voice-acting would come together as a single piece of art, wow!!!!
To give more precise details: of course, the artstyle is gorgeous! The details, the expressions, aaah! And also, the rotating background was a very original touch (and a relevant one: time is an endless loop, after all, in the great scheme of millenias).
The music was amazing too! It really fit the game and plunged me gently into the story. Also, can I say how much I LOVED the voice-acting? The emotions, the hope!!!!! This was so hopeful!!!! I really loved Max's portrayal of Hugo Brooks.
And regarding what I felt... Nostalgia, of course, but I'd mostly say: warmth. The warm of feeling confident through love; not because we need love to feel confident, but because our lover has showed us we deserve to be seen through his eyes, whether or not he's here. That was wonderful! Really, a soft and warm parenthesis of pure exaltation from love, and how significant it is, despite it being a detail in the history of humanity!
In the end, it really was a very sweet, enchanting, polished and poetic experience (and I NEVER use the word "poetic" lightly)! Thank you!
