Good take on the theme! Thoughtful and short. I enjoyed the experience!

Be strong, it happens to everyone. Try spending time alone with yourself without distractions. Thoughts will come to your mind and it will be clear what you really want. At least it worked for me.

Very relatable experience, I especially resonated with the ending I chose. I wish you the best of luck in future endeavors! On a side note, I enjoyed the little font animation :)

Whoa, this was impactful!

Sometimes I find myself categorizing games as being something separate from art--more like a toy, as though it were meant to provide nothing more than idle diversion or amusement.

Every now and again, I'm reminded that games can also be an excellent medium for emotional expression--as artistically rich as any capital-A "Art" can be.

There's deep pathos in here; as you sink and read the ruminations, the whole package--sound, the animation, the art--all proves a very effective means to convey both mood and mindset. I might not have a lot of personal connection to the thoughts expressed by the sinking character, but I was still very stirred by this short experience--the empathetic bridge formed by this game was strong enough to trigger some deep introspection in myself.
