Beautiful game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation [video series](https://youtu.be/TFsh4EsXErU), if you’d like to take a look :)

Nice work. Not being boring is the challenge with this kind of games and you made it, lovely artwork too.

Lovely little intro text :D

Turmeric made me chuckle. An interesting concept that could yield some interesting stories if developed further! I really liked how you presented the different characters within real life photos.

Loved the combination of hand-drawn images and close-up photos, it made each character feel very personal. You taught me a new word as well ("petrichor") so bonus points for that!

Kept misclicking and accidentally quiting out of the game though :(

This game has all the chill, beautiful asset management, and a simple idea, yet, well backed by the writing and character design. Excellent compo entry.(the music should be opted out by compo law. i'm not a stickler about it but... I guess it's me that has no chill. )

A lovely piece of interactive art, I like it a lot. The characters are amazingly distinct and fleshed out despite the brief glimpses we get of them. I would like to have some plot tie them together in the end, but it's definitely something I can appreciate for what it is.

It's so cute :D

This was lovely! :) I rather enjoyed chatting to the little creatures each with their own unique problems. I liked that I could go back after the 'thanks for playing' screen and get some extra insight into them.

Personally the fades are just a smidge too slow. On a second playthrough I'd have liked to go between the areas a bit quicker, but then again that might not fit with the mood! I'd like to have seen a visual reaction to my options from the creatures also.

Nice job! :D

Only negative thing i can say is the lack of gameplay. But since this is a novel type of game its not a big deal. I enjoyed the stories. And the main message given here. Art + Pictures thing is a beautiful idea. Also, people have secrets BP. Well done!
