Oh my actual gosh. This was breathtakingly beautiful!!! The design, the art, the music, the voice acting -- literally everything! I feel like I've just witnessed an absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking work of art; one that continues to gouge away at my heart even as I sit here now writing this comment... 💦

Like. Just. OK the design??? How it really brought to life the feeling of a Greek tragedy just in the composition? And the style of your gorgeous art? And the COLOR USE! In love with how you used the different colors to differentiate the three of them (and what a clever way to use the jam restrictions lkdjaldskfa). It's like. So simple. But so effective. Honestly just dripping with style all the way down to its code LOL

The music choice? SPOT ON. At times it practically felt like it was harmonizing with the voice. Literally gave me chills.

AND THE FREAKING VOICE ACTING IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. My gosh the emotiveness in those lines! Absolutely heartbreaking, heartwrenching, heart-cut-into-a-million-pieces-ing. Not only that but to play the three different characters and have them feel so distinct! Honestly just an amazing job.

I admit I didn't really know much about the story of Phaedra (or her mother and sister) before this. I know like, some of the main Greek myths and stories but not a ton of them. So this was really cool to kind of like, get this little introspective piece about a not-so-oft talked about myth. The poem is so beautiful and filled with so much vivid imagery!

GUH.

ANYWAY.

Absolutely fantastic! This was such a moving experience. Just beautiful and haunting. Thanks for moistening my eyes yet again!! 😭💦💕

Aaaah, thanks Carrot for your detailed feedback, I'm glad you appreciated this "game"! (I'll admit it feels less like a game than something more experimental, but still!)

And yes! I had a lot of fun trying to play around with colour matrixes! I was worried but in the end, it wasn't hard at all, so being able to use a same base and to yet differentiate the three women thanks to it was very satisfying! And yes, my idea was to use the restrictions of the jam in a clever way, and to have a project that could be produced only under these restrictions!

Honestly, the imagery is mostly stolen from Racine, but I'm happy I made you discover the myth and have a glimpse of his amazing writing! It was the whole point of the project, haha, just me being a Racine's fanboy (well, of his work at least, as the man, in himself, was kind of a jerk, even from the 17th century's standards??)!

I wanted to use another music track at first, but it was too intense, and I'm glad I could find this one because it really works perfectly for this game! And I can only second you on the voice-acting, it is EXTREMELY good, and Justine is highly skilled!!! She really brought the three characters to life, which is a real display of her abilities!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts per usual, they always are so precious!! And you're welcome, hydratation is important, even for the eyes!
