What a lovely game. Great guitar with backward effects. Only thing I would love to see is some sort of mouse vector aiming system instead of keys, to give more precision.

This was a really nice little game with a great premise. I think that you nailed it here with this. Usually games like this are my favorites, this one is no exception to that.
One hell of a job for a solo project, cant wait to see the next game. Keep up the good work!
Really nice storytelling here, the simple graphics make it feel a lot better.
What a nice implementation! I got lost for the first time as I tried to move downwards, but then I just read your story. It's a nice game, well clean and peaceful what I love :)
This is a really nice unique idea and I love the mood that music sets.
Nice beautiful game. Those story based and nice guitar in the background are really good combination.
Really want to read all the story, but maybe it's a good idea to put 1-2 sentence on each page instead of a paragraph, not every person like to read many paragraph on a page.
It is also nice if you incorporate the story with the game mechanic too, for example with A you might want to give bluish color, and B with redish color, everytime you interact with A in story the blu is more vivid or something. Something like that
Love to play another game like this.. I follow your itch.io account :smiley: Good work!
I liked it a lot, the whole experience. I also related a ton with the plot of character A, although that was the only story line I went down as the diverging plots confused me. It's honestly uncanny how similar the story of A is to mine. Crazy.
Really touching game. I love the ending, it's a clever use of technology (I won't write any spoilers!) The movement was very satisfying and smooth too. Thank you for sharing this!
PS. Did you hide any Easter eggs off the main path? I searched around a little but didn't find any (yet) ;)
Beautiful game, it has just enough depth and meaning for the format and has no noticeable flaws.
@mikesalyh Thanks! I wanted to hide easter eggs and probably should of but got tired yesterday, also ended up having to deal with some technical stuff. Overall I was super duper relaxed this jam and not going into the night at all so maybe I'll do a post jam version with some added content. Wanted to add a C, D etc. with just one or two panels for other people
The music really sets a nice mood. I felt better after playing it and it made me think about some of my friends too. I wish it had some simple puzzles to solve as we go through the experience.
Also, I'm getting an error in the end, "mail.google.com refused to connect.". I assume you wanted me to send you an email or write to some google form? :)
Love the music. Amazing.
Touching story and music. (PS: I thought it would be better to make room can not return, like life.)
What a beautiful game... The art and the sounds are so good. I like how personal and honest the story is, and how it asks for your own as well. A very fantastically unique submission.
@sirsnowy7 glad you liked it, A and B are real people! guess we're all kinda doing the same stuff
Beautiful little piece of art, and it felt quite close to my own heart. Kudos on a job well done!
Beautiful!
I liked the guitar music, I accidentally got lost in the endless white void.....
Wow it's crazy how much i could relate to your observations and feelings about the delicacy of keeping ties with friends and acquaintances. A really calming experience. Neither too sad or saccharine, a beautiful ride. The movement also was super fun to zip around with. Idk, but somehow the push and pull of the movement really added to the reading experience. I think it's super hard to engage players into reading text in games, but you pulled it off great!
hey jonah. congrats on the game! refreshing take on the visual novel. your small, orthogonal interaction design feels great. wouldn't change a thing--it's your expression. have always loved working with you. KIT!
I really enjoyed this. Just a great concept overall :)
Hey just wanted to say thanks for sharing those little stories. It's sad that change is part of life and people come and go (well change is necessary and inevitable and can be good! Buuuut it's still sad). Hope you, A and B all find happiness!
This is an art game. I loved the stories. I wanted to read everything but at one point I made it through to much of the red circles and, as a result, I was moving to fast. Excellent abstract graphic. Good ambiant soundtrack and audio fx.
