Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind feedback! Even though I was sad to hear that my game was disqualified, your words truly encouraged me. I'm still very new to game development, and creating this game was a big step for me. I appreciate you taking the time to play it, record a VOD, and give such detailed thoughts—it really means a lot. Your advice about improving the structure, extending the gameplay, and focusing the theme is very helpful, and I will definitely keep it in mind for future projects. Thank you for seeing the potential in this small piece of art. I will keep creating and improving with passion!

Wishing you all the best, and thank you again for being part of this journey.

I wasn’t aware that there was a rule requiring the game to be longer than 5 minutes. I thought shorter narrative games could also be valid as long as they provided a meaningful experience. Still, I appreciate your time and I’ll continue improving for future projects.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

I appreciate you taking the time to play and comment.

I agree it turned out a bit short — it was my first jam project, so I focused on completing a small but meaningful experience.

About the graphics, I wanted to try a slightly different style, but I understand it might not appeal to everyone.

Thanks again for your thoughtful comment!

Lovingly made for Gamedev.js Jam 2025.

Looking forward to the results! Just being part of this jam already feels like a win. Even if I don’t win, I feel like I gained something inside. 

The atmosphere and visuals were truly impressive — the dark tones and character transitions really matched the mood of the game. I found myself a bit confused in some scenes, trying to figure out what was going on, but that actually added to the mysterious feel. Great job, it was a unique experience. :)

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Yes, the game is intentionally surreal and symbolic — it's meant to reflect inner emotional conflict and personal decisions.

It’s normal that it feels confusing at first, because the story is more metaphorical than literal.

I’m glad it gave you something to think about, even if it didn’t fully click right away. Thanks again for playing!

Thanks for your feedback. The game is now available both as a browser-playable HTML5 version and a downloadable Windows version. Just scroll down on the page to find the download link. Hope you enjoy it !
