Oh my god this game was beautiful. The pacing for developing Kirana and Gabriels relationship was so well done, and having them slowly opened up to each other warmed my heart. It made the ending so much more worth it as we see them just start to get closer as the dialouge went on. 

 (SPOILERS) 


While I can't relate to the extent of Kirana where she regrets leaving people to die, but I can very much relate to the feeling of leaving people behind out of fear of being hurt and to ensure that I stay safe, and I can very much relate to Gabriel having that fear of being alone

The art style is beautiful, and the dialouge was so beautifully written, where I could be laughing at their interactions one moment, crying because of how much they've been through, and smiling to how much they are starting to open up to each other. 

Both romantic endings of staying on the farm or leaving to go find Kiranas parents were beautiful, I remember finishing both endings and just feeling so warm of them being able to help each other in the end and trusting to stay by each others side. 

This was overall such a beautifully written game that just made me feel warm after reading this, and I am defintely going to come back and replay it to get that warm feeling again :)

Oh my, thanks so much for this detailed review! 

The game is loosely based on a personal experience's survivor's guilt during c*v*d times as we lose people, disguised as a zombie apocalypse, where I met my husband and we went through our traumatic events together. I am a medical doc and there was an event where all the oxygen went out in my hospital and then 50 people died at the same time, I had to tell everyone their families died. Even tho it wasn't my fault I felt I was helpless. Kirana's nightmares was bit of based on mine. 

I hope with this little story I can tell people that sometimes it won't always be bad! 

Again, thanks for playing!

I can't even imagine how traumatizing it would be to tell 50 families that. I'm applying to medical school this year. I did feel like the credits "to all survivors' had more to do with COVID than the video game narrative, and this just confirmed it.

I love that you were able to incorporate your own story into this! I'm sorry you had to go through that, it really must've been a tough time, esp when dealing in the pandemic. But the fact you were able to make it out of it, and tell your story in such a beautiful way shows how strong you were able to come out of it, and make something truly remarkable from your experience, thank you for telling this story!

And thank you so much for playing! In the end the message was "hope" And even tho it is cheesy, I hope everyone still holds out hope no matter what their situation is
