“This is the first game that's genuinely brought me to tears, just the emotion behind the story, the reflection of events in my own life, and the surprising emotion behind finding out the private parts of people's lives you never really get to hear creates an amazing experience.”
“Life is so precious and fleeting, and this was a beautiful reminder to savor every walk and story with your loved ones.”
“This game is such a masterpiece combined with the piano playing in the background and the storytelling of the grandma.”
“All you do in this short art piece is walk while music plays, and then you get told a sad story.”
“It doesn't matter the quality of the 'story' here... this might as well be a YouTube video (and would probably make the developer some money from ad impressions).”
“I played with some friends in the call which kind of ruined the atmosphere, and I couldn't hear the story because of them but I read the transcript and... I don't even know what to say.”
