This is the longest I've spent on a game so far. The story/mood are really intruiging

Love the story and graphics are pretty interesting for this style of game. It plays better than any other game of this type I've played. Good job!

Interesting idea for the theme! Great job!

Really cool. I spent a while on it, just enjoying the atmosphere.

Very well done. Played through to the end. The mechanics and sparse environments worked very well with the theme. Great use of silhouettes to allow the player to project there own ghosts onto.

Nice job. Draws you in and makes you want to solve the puzzles.

Oh Wow, I was not expecting to feel playing all these games.

I played it all the way through. Though the puzzles were interesting they weren't mind-blowing, though the adventure setting was ominous and intriguing it wasn't anything terribly new or exciting and didn't terribly capture the theme in my opinion.

Instead the element I liked the most was the way the narrative was weaved into the game and I felt like I was exploring a tiny fraction of a very complicated situation.

It was a very well rounded experience, it did what it set out to do and did it well! A bite-sized morsel of adventure with a satisfying ending.

A couple of things I noticed a little awry though: in the anger level the note at the end says "trust si such a fragile thing". Certain objects/characters don't logically change their responses after you fulfil certain criteria, such as locks on the anger level and the logic puzzle level still saying they're locked even though I just unlocked them and can move freely through them, as well as the depression man still wanting a poem even after I gave him one.

Those small things however did nothing to detract from this heartfelt, honest and moving piece of work. I really enjoyed it, well done!

Graphics were cool, and a really interesting game. Great job!

Very nice story, even despite the lack of sound, which is generally a large component in the mood aspect, you did create a very nice sense of atmosphere. As for the story, it kept me engaged all along. Puzzles at first seemed a bit odd, but then it all clicked and made perfect sense. Great job!

Great game well done!

cakeknuckles 2016-04-19 04:13

this game had a whole bunch of atmosphere, i really liked that sort of sparse melody in the background. kept me intrigued enough to play all the way through!

I like the quiet/introspective games just as much if not more than the action-based ones. Especially the ones that have really original takes on the theme given. Great entry.

coderdozer 2016-04-19 17:02

Really nice story telling, loved the logic puzzle in the end too. well done.

demane_f 2016-04-20 10:01

Really liked it

cat5casey 2016-04-20 18:29

Excellent mood. Bonus points for being bold enough to take the theme outside of game-space.

I lost mah pen, though.

Deep.

Nice game with quite a lot of content, I was impressed. I particularly liked the little logic puzzle. Well done!

axoona 2016-04-29 14:45

great mood!

Pretty good point and click. I found the puzzles to be very straight forward though.
