Now this is a moody game!!!

This is beautiful! Top notch graphics, mood, audio and story. Brings back some sad memories...

this is great! With very few colors, makes me feel a lot

Wow! The music and graphics are some of the best for this game jam! It was a little slow for me however. Things were spread out so it takes forever to walk to the next location.

That was ... depressing. Good game overall, you hit the theme. Maybe up the walking speed - liked the rain and graphics. screenshot10.png

Loved the mood and the art style. The pacing was slow but i guess if you zipped around the screen you wouldn't get the same atmosphere.

how you going to make me cry at 7 in the morning? I got my whole work day ahead of me. Great game.

a small note is at times early on in the game I thought I was being pushed to explore. An a example would be when you get out of bed after visiting the vet. I saw the note saying "wait till morning" but thought it was being hinted that I should go outside. Ended up walking all the way back to the vet with nothing happening. Some barriers to keep the player where you want them might help.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and story even if there wasn't a lot of gameplay on offer. Definitely made me feel something which is more than most entries can say, so you should be proud!

Fantastic job with the music and sound effect, it really set the mood!

Wow, very impactful, that hit a little close to home for me. My only criticism is that prompts fade out and don't reappear if you wander off and come back.

I really like how this game tells a story pieces at a time. Really dark mood going on, and the music really enforces this. Good work!

Oh. Oh no.

The graphics & mood are just so spot on. Unfortunately I couldn't hear anything. Really enjoyed playing through the story.

couldn't hear anything - I must have missed out on the atmosphere as I wasn't sure what was going on! Nice clear art though

An extremely deeply affecting story.

@tygrak, нow was the music created?

fumybulb 2020-10-17 11:00

By the way, I remembered this masterpiece a little later: https://katmengjia.com/interactive/rain/rain.html

Inspirational, huh? :cloud_rain:

I love the mood in this game and the music. The walking got a bit tedious after a while, maybe drop in parts of the story or something happening while your walking?

thooom 2020-10-18 20:41

Loving the atmosphere here. Nailed it. The rain graphics looks really cool! A bit of a long walk, at a slow pace - but that could be intentional. Well done!

notime4games 2020-10-27 12:06

Nice mood, good job! I like that it's not clear where to go. Also, I kept playing even after the game told me it was over and I feel like I got the happy ending!

Wow!!!! Incredible entry for LD 47! I didn't know it! You deserved the second place on mood! Congrats for these!
