I like that you took this opportunity to convey this message. Those poor cows! It would have been even better if you included some statistics of the environmental impacts of meat too at the end ;) Other than that, great job on putting the cutscenes together, they looked very well-made.

I like how you used this to show us the brutality of meat production. The mood provided in this seems to match quite well

brutal. I liked the blackouts. it hurt to see the car scene right after the meet cute.

That was weird yet entertaining. I respect your use of cut scenes. The crying sun was funny.

You kept the bow on the meat that was sooo sad! Great job!

well there is no gameplay but the art is really good and the message really is conveyed. Cheers

I came here for play not feels ;) But good you managed to juggle 2 projects during ld too also convey this message

Definitely a mooood piece. Yeah I just had to ;-) A refreshing take on the theme, but I wouldn't have minded a some more game play in it.

Went from the cutest possible game to the saddest story ever. This red bag with the pink ribbon killed me. The game is brutal but very well done, congrats!

I love the message behind the "game" but I really miss the Playing part. It would be nice to actually do something. The Art is cute and I think you are right to remind the people what eating meat means to the animals.

A moving little short story about the life and death of most cows nowadays. At least they lived on a grassy large meadow, before being slaughtered. Not many cows can enjoy that kind of luxury. I liked the sun transporting the feelings of the cows and representing the mood.

Nice entry! :thumbsup:

Really nice to see an entry like this, didn't expect it, but looking at it now it's actually one of the more "obvious" interpretations of the theme... I'm even a bit ashamed I didn't even think of this despite many hours of brainstorming.

There certainly isn't much gameplay, but for a game like this there really doesn't need to be. It's a short experience, conveying a message, and some kind of fun engaging gameplay really wouldn't add anything to the overall experience, so I personally am fine with just being able to "walk right" for a while and see the events unravel.

Well done, and thanks a lot for putting in the effort to do something like this.

This was unexpected :frowning2:

I hope the cow ends up in limbostore.heaven :grimacing:

You conveyed the message very well.
