I love this. At some point I forgot I was playing a game, and then I remembered and my mind collapsed in on itself for a second, but anyway this indirect way of storytelling is very cool.

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :)

This is a really cool idea for a game format! Great atmosphere too. Makes me feel inspired :)

This game rules. The writing is perfect. I almost made something of myself...maybe I'll try again, but it's a tough biz.

 🥤 ✨

Wow, this gave me chills. All of those influences really turned into something cool and unique!

Got 'em all! That was fun, and I like the graphics!

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it :)

Thank you!! I'm glad it was intriguing!

This game is awesome! I really appreciate the fun writing and the player-friendliness—I feel like I got a lesson in writing good choices in games, and also another lesson about homeownership. :)

This was great! Very atmospheric. And what a nice happy ending :)

A very gripping story! I knew it must be about to end, but I still didn't want it to :)

This was a lot of fun! Really funny writing and great characters—I had to start over a few times to see all the shenanigans they got up to. 

Oh yes. This is some spooky greatness right here. The zombie eye definitely belongs in the monster book right alongside the others!

This is neat! Poetry games are fun, and this one feels like a throwback to classic creepy poems of yore. I stumbled around until I found a hopeful ending, whew!

I loved this! The writing is so thoughtful, the way you can choose whether to lean in to the fact that this has been going on far too long already...it really got me. And it's eerie how replaying the game mirrors the repetition over the years. Great game!

Thanks, glad you liked it! (I wanted to implement "replay your message" too, to see everything in one block, but ran out of time....)

Yeah, it was hard to develop a story with such a small project—follow-up calls is a good idea for later, though. Glad you liked it, and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

So glad you liked it! I'm glad it was a hard choice, too. Thanks for playing :)

Beautiful and absorbing, like a 3D poem. I really enjoyed spending time with this game.

I'm glad you felt for Kira...not everyone had so much sympathy. Thanks for playing!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Hmm, it would be interesting to see other things' perspectives on our human dramas...maybe someone else will write those. :)

Thank you! I still don't really understand where the idea came from, but I'm glad it ended up making some kind of sense ^_^

I really enjoyed this! Tension underlying beauty, and vice versa. And the choice. <3

This was fun! It's a very interesting take on the one-choice constraint. The story really ups the stakes, and I liked the variations in endings. I just hope it hasn't ruined cookies for me...

This is great! How satisfying to be able to make a different choice. And yet....

Really makes you think!

It's so interesting to hear other people's soda stories—this one is particularly visceral. Thanks for reading and for sharing!

Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you, that's very nice to hear! I spent a while trying to balance the choices, so I'm glad it wasn't too easy to decide.

This game is very cool! The hints and revelations are well-paced, and I enjoyed the balance of cozy and sinister. The "normal" ending was a satisfying story on its own, but I'm glad I played again. <3

This was great fun! So adventurous and good-hearted, and well-implemented too. I appreciated all the custom responses for spell+item combos, especially the one about the donkey's backstory. <3

Oh good, I'm glad it finally worked! Hopefully it was a one-time thing. And thanks, glad you liked the game! :)

I really enjoyed—is that the right word?—playing this game. The writing is so beautiful and everything’s so vivid and immediate. Somehow I actually got to know these characters and their relationship in just a few moments. Absolutely chilling.

This was fun! It gave me the feeling of investigating a real escape room. Great job on your first game!!

This was a lot of fun! So adventurous, and so much personality among the birds. It was really cool to see a completely different implementation of the Feathered Fury seed—though it's interesting that we did some similar things as well!

What a disturbing yet compelling journey—well done! It's so fascinating to see my seed adapted by a writer with such a different aesthetic. Our inventories may not be the same, but there's a lot I recognize of the seed in here. This one might haunt me for a while.

Wow, this is so unique and atmospheric and intriguing to explore. The poem really got me, and then playing with the complementary mechanic got me again. Very cool game!

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it! <3

Thank you, glad you liked it! <3
