Amongst all your games you now made a "Going to the beach-episode" ;P

Nice idea! Love the dialogue and the interplay.

pereubu 2014-04-28 08:48

Makes me want to play my old point'n'clics again :3

linuus 2014-04-28 09:39

Fantastic game. Loved the dialog, and the ending was so sad.

mtrc 2014-04-28 10:31

Really liked it for the most part! The shells and photographs were really nice distractions and looking up/down was a nice mechanical touch.

sam101 2014-04-28 11:46

Genius ! I really liked your entry, the dialog was really really nice, and the ending was really touching.

pierrec 2014-04-28 12:13

Thanks! I added some sounds in the post-compo version. It's better that way.

paperblurt 2014-04-28 16:10

Looks so good, and I like how people do something more with the narrative and add some depth.

ezombort 2014-04-28 16:14

Awesome game, my favorite so far! :)

dedhedzed 2014-04-28 16:15

Dude, that was... wow. Sudden emotional ending out of nowhere.

Also, I really feel the need to go and buy some Crispy Crisps...

tipyx 2014-04-28 16:23

Wahouuuu. I'm subjugated by so mush talent oO. Good job Pierrec !

gaeel 2014-04-28 16:38

Oh and I'M the shitty asshole?
At least I didn't make the player CARE about the character first!

(For people reading, Pierrec knows I'm kidding, I'm not ACTUALLY insulting him)

andymar 2014-04-28 16:49

Really good, but goes a bit slow.

amour-maternel 2014-04-28 18:29

Very nice one! Dialogs are great and the story is well told. Many good ideas along the way. Nice entry and i think your best one so far.

tomvert 2014-04-28 20:59

I'm impressed. Your characters seems always so true and full of life, I didn't think I could get involve with the main character so quickly, I had the impression to know her with just a few details. As always there's a great sense of humour. SPOILER: Such a sad ending was unexpected at first, but then I was thinking "What was the theme again ? Oh no...". Bravo !

volute 2014-04-28 21:54

Awesome! I totally felt like I was at the beach. The very simple and elegant graphics perfectly built the mood. I enjoyed looking up for birds and down for seashells. And the theme is omnipresent. Great job!

tijmentio 2014-04-28 23:19

The dialogues felt so so real, you sure know how relationships work out don't you? ;) I just hated the ending, I'm sorry...
Loved the main characters personality.

hissssssssss 2014-04-29 08:34

I love the idea of a 1D point-n-click. Only being able to move back and forth along a straight path was a really unique choice, and it works perfectly.
Fantastic as always!

toki-anholmes 2014-04-29 08:40

Women who never stops talking when you're trying to enjoy your holidays... haha

Anyway, well done, amazing game

flavio 2014-04-29 09:07

Ahah j'avais beaucoup aimé At the Cafe et la c'est vraiment cool aussi. Les dialogues et l'ambiance marchent vraiment bien ! Felicitations ! :)

pierrec 2014-04-29 09:45

About the ending : I was first planing on adding an alternative ending (a bit less tragic), triggered by the finding of all birds/seashells and linked to the monolog. But you know, 48h.

pitoum 2014-04-29 09:59

Ah ah! Crazy asshole! I DIDN'T EVEN REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT FUCKING BIRD!

pierrec 2014-04-29 10:21

That's precisely why I wanted an alternative ending, on the car side :/

hermes 2014-04-29 10:24

Very impressive!
I love the moment with the metal detector!

helopol 2014-04-29 14:50

That is truly amazing. Loved it :D
And the ending is really damn well brought.

andymar 2014-04-29 15:43

Amazing. Only critisism is that not everyone is going to know how to open .rar files; consider zipping it or something.

caranha 2014-04-29 16:08

Thanks for the game! I think you shouldn't have added the spoiler at the airplane -- it half-spoiled the ending for me :-)

pierrec 2014-04-29 16:31

I didn't think someone would actually read the whole banner ^^

anoarith 2014-04-29 19:37

+1 caranha x)

Once again, it was a typical Pierrec's game : mood, love story and humor :)

gfm 2014-04-29 21:40

This! This is exactly the kind of thing I thought when I was thinking about how to use the theme differently! Amazing use of the theme!
Great narrative! But what I liked most were the monologues... They were just awesome! =D

bentosmile 2014-04-29 22:02

Oh no :( I tried a bunch of different things to get it to run, but couldn't. Damn, I really wanted to play. (Using 64bit Win7 if it's any help)

meedoc 2014-04-29 22:09

As always, your games rocks. Just found the ending too predictable on that one though :-(

pierrec 2014-04-29 22:15

@Benttosmile : I'm really sorry. I know AGS game sometimes doesn't work on PC, and I really do not know why ...

bashosha 2014-05-01 00:41

not working here :(

triplevisiongames 2014-05-01 08:09

This is simple but does everything it needs to do. Works great with the sound (although I've not rated for that) and the way it plays out is moving - great work!

jacques_le_lezard 2014-05-01 10:11

Thanks your game is a kind of virus X( You can't delete it and it launch by himself X(

tobiasw 2014-05-01 15:58

Oh wow, that was cool. I don't think I ever rated any game mood 5 without any sound, but the writing in your game nailed it! Interesting monolog and dialog sprinkled with lots of little bits of humor and a sense of discovery - I like it.

The only thing I could really criticize is that I've clicked away auto-appearing dialog once I enter a screen MULTIPLE times by accident.

Also, you're a monster.

PS: Is http://oujevipo.fr yours? If so, you left a really cool review for Catcher there - thanks a lot! Google Translate had problems with some of the more poetic phrasings, but I think I understood most of it :D

pierrec 2014-05-01 16:36

@tobias oujevipo is mine yes. Glad you liked the article and the game.

@jaques this obviously isn'tt normal. Can you be more specifiv?

bender 2014-05-02 19:41

Even with those pixelated minimalist graphics, you made me feel at the beach. The little stuff, like looking up and see birds flying, looking down and have the feet in the water while searching for seashell.
Second ending would have been nice, I'm pretty sure I got all those little fuckers soul! Muahaha.
Anyway, great entry, and as always, delightful dialogs full of life <3

juniorus 2014-05-05 13:46

Great!! ...but the end is so sad... :'(

zebi24 2014-05-07 12:33

Absolutely love it!

striwx 2014-05-14 14:47

The mood and the story were cool. Maybe this was too long with all this fedex quests :)
