A highly emotional gameplay with beautiful visuals that looks like it was inspired from night in the woods . I had such a different vibe with the game . Though the game is short the emotions are indeed deep

Thank you so much for playing! I'm really happy you enjoyed it :D :D

I really like your art style. and themes. To be honest more coherent English would make it better? Sometimes you write perfectly and fluently (and respond to comments with fluent English) but other times it's so glaringly wrong that it doesn't do your stories justice.

this game made me remember and cry SOOOOO much about my late cats that i loved so much (rest in peace Tiger, Cosmo, and Squirrel) oh no im crying again i miss and love them so much 😭

This legitimately broke me. I resonated so much with those feelings of self-loathing and worthlessness. Feelings of being a burden.

You told your story incredibly beautifully and I sincerely cannot write into words how charming it is. The art style, the atmosphere. The calming, quiet, somber, yet sweet colors and music. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

This game, like all your others, is exceptional.

Keep making, you wonderful human being.

(please reply) this game was sad and also calming after i realized that they will soon meet again.  i just couldn't get it out of my head. , i know that you just created the game  but i was too excited to ask.,  are you gonna create a part 2? it could probally be about Noelle meeting up with her friend after some years. (i am not forcing) but i really wanna know :(

Thank you so much for playing!!! I'm really happy you liked it :D

I'm very thankful for your interest but I don't really have any plan to make a sequel to this little game, I've always want it to end where it is and I thought it was fitting enough (i hope :D)

(+1)

that is okay . i played some more of your games , it made me cheer up and they were fun aswell . amazing games

(+2)

i love this its so sad tho im actually kind of crying and ive never cried over a game before  :)

(+1)

This game is truly beautiful and moving... I cried, which happens very rarely with games and especially short ones like this one. It hit really hard, having dealt with suicidal thoughts before and having friends and family currently dealing with it too. I really hope everyone can find a way to heal and keep going. If someone is reading this, you're not a burden, you never were and never will. You have the right to exist. I know life is hard but please keep going, there's also beauty along the way.


Thank you Finn Truong for making such a beautiful and impactful game. It's honestly a short masterpiece.

this game is BEAUTIFUL.. it was very touching. life is a path full of obstacles,along the way, we get to meet things/people etc. that make walking on the path easier,that give our lifes a meaning. sadly,sometimes those things get taken away from us. but this game teaches us that no matter what,we must keep walking. thanks for putting your whole finnussy into this game fr

This game was really beautiful. It was nostalgic of the indie games I admired as a young child, but hit me hard as the new adult i have become. I ended this short game with a heavy heart, but also a hopeful heart. Your narrative skills are truly breath-taking, and I look forward to what you create next. :)

Nice work !

I opened itch.io just looking around and I suddenly got broken in around 10-20 minutes. Thanks for the experience in many ways.

As promised, here is our playthrough. I guess my voice could be a bit louder, it's sometimes not so easy to hear and understand it, but I hope despite this one can figure out what is going on.

Thank you so much for the playthrough!! Your voice is really calming and I enjoy watching the video a lot :D

Thank you again for the support, it really means a lot to me ❤❤

I really loved this game. It was short but sweet. I really liked the song that was included but I wasn't able to find it. I was wondering if you could tell me what the song is called.

(+1)

Thank you so much for playing!! I always really love watching people playing my little game, so it means a lot :D :D

For the song included it's Come Back To Nashville by Katy Kirby, I have a link to her wonderful album on freearchivemusic.org in the description of this page but I'll put it here again  https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Katy_Kirby, hope it helps :D

So nice, love the art and presentation. A good example of how a simple game can tell a story without over doing it. :D Thanks!! 

Thank you so much for playing!!

ahh, I remember silhouette, I am excited, and will write a comment even before I play (lol

Thank you so much for checking it out!! I hope you liked it =))))

(+1)

beautiful :-) just amazing, I really liked the water where you dive down, and the dialogue that is basically a delayed talking from both sides..

(+2)

We had to play this wonderful game immediately. It has a beautiful artstyle like "Silhouette" and "A garden on the sea". As always, this story is very moving. Right at the beginning we nearly started crying. Very good work which shows how to deal with death and say goodbye properly. Nice to see a black cat again. In every game of yours it has another name. As soon as we have time, we will show our video here. Best wishes.

Thank you so much for the kind words and the support!! It really means a lot to me :D
