Simply lovely! A much-needed, gentle reminder that for all the rough and bitter things in this world, softness and sweetness persist, especially in small and quiet moments with beloved friends. ❤️

Thank you!! ❤️ I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Short and sweet, and an absolute hook begging for more! Faun is charismatic and cool, but still feels like there's something our well-intentioned but naive character is blind to--very excited to check out The Closet Door as well!

Thank you!! 💜💜💜 I appreciate your lovely review so much!

💜 Thank you very much for the kind words--I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

5/5, would absolutely let Jun bleed out on my sofa again (?) Great work on a small scale!!

Why, HELLO AGAIN! Played Wishkeeper's Bargain and wished for more--good to know wishes come true ✨GORGEOUS artwork, moody, atmospheric music, and phenomenal voice acting--stellar work, all around!!

Fabulously fun, silly, and even a tad bittersweet! Love how much personality sparkles from this cleverly-plotted micro-game: witty writing, an expressive sprite, excellent voice acting, and a great soundtrack. Well done, all around!

Deliciously moody and atmospheric--lovely, lovely work!

Thank YOU for making another super fun game!! ✨ And thank you--I'm not participating this time, just enjoying everyone else's hard work, hahaha ❤️

Hilarious, silly, and sweet in equal portions--absolutely delightful work!!

Terrific use of limited assets--this was SUCH fun, and so well crafted! The banter with Darius is delightful; he might be an absolute brat (affectionate), but he's lovely to look at and the voice acting is also wonderfully expressive! Great work all around! ❤️

Phenomenal use of the O2A2 restrictions! A perfectly tense, taut little thriller of a game--I enjoyed it immensely!

A contemplative and intimate little story, beautifully written and illustrated! I love this glimpse into a strange world and a complex relationship: the dialogue is rich and evocative, the art is stunning, and the music sets just the right bittersweet tone--gorgeous work!

❤️ This incredibly kind and thoughtful review absolutely made my day!! Thank you so, so very much--I appreciate you taking the time to both rate the game and respond in such detail, and I'm excited to share your words with the rest of the team! 

Utterly, utterly charming! ❤️ The story is very engaging, and so well-supported by the beautiful, expressive artwork, elegant UI, and sprightly, flavorful writing. I enjoyed the Edwardian setting immensely (as well as Heron in particular, delightful disaster that he is!)

Incredible work all around: thank you for sharing such a terrific game!

Such a treat already! 🫧 The character artwork is charming and expressive, and the backgrounds and UI are so clean and full of personality! The writing is also fabulous--Mack's introductory description is absolutely brilliant. And speaking as a fellow fan of the 'Fish-with-Hands' genre, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the fifth character in this turns out. All around impressive, impressive work! 💚

Oooh, this has so much promise, and I'm looking forward to seeing it develop! Already in love the charming characters and and cozy artwork, and the hints that there's more going on than meets the eye have me well and truly hooked. ✨ Terrific work! 

Fabulous, in every way! ❤️ LOVE the setup, with our delightful and intensely relatable heroine in all her flawed glory, and the LIs are each uniquely delightful and intriguing--outstanding work, and really really looking forward to the story's progression!

Thank you so much!! ❤️ The characters really hijacked the story during scripting, because they were just so, so much fun to write--I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the result!

So good to find a game that addresses the oft-neglected importance of preservation work in the event of a zombie apocalypse! Curator has clear priorities, decidedly an admirable figure. ✨ 11/10, would tour the museum and definitely not die again!

Came for the striking art style, stayed for the subversive garden gnome installations. ✨ 

This game is wholly original and so wonderfully weird! I enjoyed it very much--thank you!

Thank you!! ❤️ That means quite a lot--I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and will pass it along to the team!

Oh my stars, this is absurdly delightful--and I cannot wait for more!! ✨ Fabulous work all around, this is a stellar start in every respect!

A romantic, introspective gem of a game, laden with heart! ❤️ It's incredibly rare to find a story that handles themes of self-discovery and emotional growth with this level of delicacy and nuance. I appreciate as well that love is represented in many forms throughout the story: the love between friends; the (sometimes fraught) love of family; desire as it blossoms into affection, and from there into the complexity of romantic attachment. 🌼 Gorgeous work to the team, all around--thank you for sharing such a precious story and game! 

❤️

So glad you enjoyed playing it! Thank you! ❤️

So stylish and engaging! ✨Both direction and execution are absolutely top-notch: the art, design, and music are each lush and nostalgic, and while the story feels sweeping and epic, it still remains personal and grounded.

I especially love how varied the characters and persepctives are: it's clear how much love and energy the team has put in on this, and that hard work absolutely pays off! ❤️

Gotta love the fish-folk! (Melusine: ...and selkies, too--isn't that right, little bird?) 

I hope you enjoy the story as much as we enjoyed working on it! 🫧

Thank you so much for playing, and for the kind words! ❤️

Ooh, this is such a fun, engaging premise, with absolutely gorgeous artwork! Really looking forward to seeing what comes next! 🌙

A delightful romp already! I love the premise, and the characters are each so expressive! I don't know that I've ever seen a game this visually engaging before, both in terms of movement and phenomenal design--looking forward to the coming update, for sure!

An appealling, poignant story, and absolutely glorious artwork--lush, eloquent, and utterly unique! Beautiful work! 🫧

Oooh, this one is on my list, and I cannot wait for the full release! The intriguing premise, breathtaking cover art, lush prose, spare and haunting music, and beautiful, sun-soaked backgrounds--everything feels so deliciously intentional and sensory. Really looking forward to the upcoming update; phenomenal work! ✨

I love this cozy, intensely relatable snapshot: as short and sweet as it is, it hits on topics and a very specific feeling that larger and longer games chase after and rarely catch. There's a magic in the mundane that we too often overlook: the (often failed!) spells cast on cupboards and the fridge in search of food, even when we know full well they'll be empty; the conjured armor of need in going out in whatever clothes, unbossed and unbothered, which crumbles at the  first touch of social interaction; the small electric spark of kismet in meeting someone new, and not knowing who they will be to you in the future, but trying to read your fortune in a smile or a shared glance.

Thank you for a beautiful glimpse into this slice-of-life. It's like light on water, an old and faded photograph, and a worn and favorite blanket, all at once. I felt each word in my sternum as I read it, and while I could easily gush for longer, I honestly don't know if I have words for how special that truly is. ❤️ Gorgeous work, and well done!
