off topic, kind of, but how do you pronounce Charon? Is it like Charone like Tyrone or is it like Sharon? also he's(?) a cute, little fella, i wanna be besties with him(?)
i finished the game after so long, it's just as amazing as the cohabitation one. I love it. The art, the mystery, and the music omg. Also, are these guys in the same kind of universe as cohabitation??
Great construction dramaturgically and funny and heartfelt writing, I was fully engaged and absolutely got jumpscared by the monster. Where you lost me is the AI-art, for me it takes me out of it, I cant see the image as anything but the art-references I recognize (ex Francis Bacon) hacked up and reassembled. I would much rather see an actual artist take on the concept. No hate, I just think you have talent that is obscured by the AI.
The next game will be made without it - this was made at a time when AI art had just released and had an interesting uncanny look -- now that it seeks to just look the same as human art it is less interesting and more nefarious. For ethical and aesthetic reasons I will not be using it in future projects!
probably because it's the same engine and they're both saved in your browser's cookies, though I would be interested to see what happens when you load that save lmao
So I JUST finished the game, and since babies are like, a symbol of innocence, the fact that he's all muscley looking but still a baby could maybe represent the opposite of innocence, after everything he did and how he tried to justify it? That's my interpretation!
super unique game, haven't played anything like it.
SPOILER!!!
the thing in the last painting scared the fuck out of me first time he got me. was definitely on edge the whole time I was going through it, even after he moved on
FUN! I adore the OST and the contrast between the soft lofi/distortion matches perfectly with the contract between the contrast between the pixel art/surrealist sprites.
Wow just wow this is my first time playing one of your games and im blew away. The amazing soundtrack, the heavy hitting dialuge, even the visuals, man i dont live when i say this game has to be one of my favorites i've played here congrats
every time i play one of your games, im always lost in my feelings yet i feel as if i found myself. just the way you create your games in mesmerizing. thoughtful and beautiful storyline and gosh the music is so wonderful!! definitely gonna re-play this game in the future :))
FAM I DIDNT MAKE IT PAST THE THIRD PAINTING I GOT JUMP SCARED BYT HAT MONSTER THING AND ACCIDENTLY QUIT BUT I LOVED IT IT WAS WELL DONE I TEARED UP WITH THE OLD LADY BUT THIS IS VERY WELL DONE
Man, this is one of those games I wish I could play again for the first time ever. Such a beautiful game, and the stories were well made. Wonderful game, truly.
the soundtrack is a without a doubt, a highlight of this game. another one of my favorite parts is the fact that the creator does not feed you answers, and instead leaves it up to your own interpretation. overall a short game worth playing. 9/10 and to the dev KEEP IT UP CHAMP (where can i find the soundtrack)

Wow, wow, wow! This was super fun! Will there be more paintings?
Not for this game, but you might be happy to see whats in my upcoming project 👀
this game was an amazing play, the ending really surprised me. I would love to know how the character we where playing as died though
why spoil?
how was that a spoiler?
this game is so beautiful, i love the use of ai generated paintings to portray something not quite recognizeable
Thanks!!
esta alguien trabajando en una traducción al español? yo quiero colaborar en eso
lo traduje desde portugues a español de manera para jugarlo. pero lo volveria hacer para que otros que hablan mi idioma lo jueguen.
si, una persona llamada anafrancia esta trabajando en una traduccion en mi discord. Si te unes puedes preguntarle si puedes ayudar! :)
estaría encantado, quizás pueda, si sigo con los problemas de discord que no me deja iniciar... no creo poder...
I'm amazed, definetly the best game i've found on itch!! It truly deserves more recognition.
Thank you <3
That was actually so good wtf? fr keep it up
Thank you!! :)
the music is amazing btw i love the title songg
Thank you big props to monom who did the soundtrack!
damn.
Both this game and Cohabitation are true master pieces. No other game has made me feel more impressed. Can't wait for your next game.
Thank you so much -- the pitch for my next game is done so production is full steam ahead :)
off topic, kind of, but how do you pronounce Charon? Is it like Charone like Tyrone or is it like Sharon? also he's(?) a cute, little fella, i wanna be besties with him(?)
also, do you know a good letter scramble thing. i have a lot of things i wanna translate from your games *stare*
CHAT< CHARON SAID THE GAME NAME- also the song that plays when you make the monster move on in painting 3, what is it? i need it, it sounds so good
i finished the game after so long, it's just as amazing as the cohabitation one. I love it. The art, the mystery, and the music omg. Also, are these guys in the same kind of universe as cohabitation??
also downloading the music for this game
The traditional greek way to pronounce it uses an inbetween of K and H -- "Khar.on"
However, I just say "Sharon"
oooh, it's a greek name??
yes its based off the guide of the underworld in Greek mythology!
that is so cool- you're real smart for that haha
amazing game and soundtrack!
thank you!

So I JUST finished the game, and since babies are like, a symbol of innocence, the fact that he's all muscley looking but still a baby could maybe represent the opposite of innocence, after everything he did and how he tried to justify it? That's my interpretation!
wonderful game and experience. I hope you continue to develop games
Thank you :)
It was a pretty interesting game; I like the pschological horror element and especially the imagery of the dialogue in the last painting. Bravo.
Thank you it means a lot :)
The 3rd painting had my heart beating out of my chest!! The storytelling here is amazing, seriously one of the best games I've found.
Thank you so much I'm touched! :)

Loved your video! To address what you said at the end, my next game will be much longer and I have a feeling fans of this one will enjoy it :)
Yes! Cannot wait, looking forward to it
Interesting...

This was amazing to play through. The music fit so well. That poor "river boy" story :'(

Oh awesome! "Sacrifice" is such an amazing song - maybe my favourite one in the game. It fits the story and mood at that point of the game so well.
