Loved the music, story was solid, gameplay was a bit boring, but that wasn't really the focus. Great job!

If I could rate this game 2.5 stars all the way down I would, lol, I actually really liked the idea of just walking through the story like that, and I really liked the ending too. Some of the conversations go way too fast for me to stop and read, but I got the gist ;)

This was a rather interesting game. I loved the art style and story.

Amazing art style and animation you have going there. Music really got my attention and immersed me into the mood of the game.

Nice mood. Had some trouble accidentally walking and triggering the next line of text before I had finished reading the last. Nice experience though :)

Definitely an interesting visual experience. Unfortunately I seemed to skip a lot of the text with other people accidentally. Good work!

I didn't really get the story; the dialogue system was kinda clunky, I kept accidentally skipping text without meaning to.
I didn't understand what the point of it all was; a boring guy who somehow tons of people want to hang out with?
I thought the ending animation was pretty funny, though.

I really like the painterly art style. I accidentally skipped some of the text on multiple occasions though.

for some reason this was a really emotional game for me portrayed a feeling really well... good job.

Hi there. Minor problem sizing text to display window, overcome with Chrome's zoom feature. Love the graphics and piano music. Nice point well made at end with third-wall breaking. Good job!

Nice game.

I cant see some dialogues, they appear for a milisecond, but a game is nice and emotional, although, I wish there were more gameplay...

Like others, I feel I ended up skipping text by walking too fast by them.

Advancing text seemed a bit janky, but this had a great mood to it, especially aided by the music.

Well, this piece of art is hardly a game, but it does not matter: wonderful music, great story and personal graphics, that's all a good piece of art needs.

I wish there was more to do than walk/talk to people. The bug you're aware of popped up a lot and stopped me from getting the full story.

The walk could use a little more love. I love the art style overall. Sometimes you could see the pixelation or artifacts that could get cleaned.

The mood/emotion was pretty good because of the reflection where as it may have just been annoying without it, like thinking about other perspectives.

Nice dialogs, but the game is annoying...

I think you executed this very well. This is the first game like this (a story-based game, not really focused on gameplay) that I actually played through completely without losing interest.
One thing I noticed was that sometimes the text is chopped off when people talk to you, and when I try to walk over to read it, I end up responding to them. But overall nice job, the art style was nice and quirky.

Skipped some of my responses by accident, but other than that everything worked nicely. The ending was brilliant.
