this was a really nice play! i loved the music, artstlye, and atmosphere. i recommended it to my friend and they also enjoyed it.
Thanks to you and thanks for recommending it! :)
M'ha encantat el joc, de veritat se sent la lluita interna i l'esforç. Molt pròxim el sentiment la veritat. La música molt chida i l'art increible.
Perdona el meu català, encara estic aprenent
10/10
Moltes gràcies! El teu català està perfecte <3
Aw this gave me such a somber feeling :"D Why is it so hard to make a career out of art... :")
I tried manymany times but couldn't get all the endings, especially the good one (if there is?). I wonder if you're planning to make an ending guide? I want to see her happy :"D And I don't want to believe that no matter how much I try I can't defeat the system. I can!! With the help of others :"D Sorry for the random analogy haha
Great game!! Artstyle was really lovely and fitting for the gloomy mood.
Hi!! Thank you for your nice words :)))
I just uploaded a full guide on how to get all outcomes. Check outcome 5 ;)
Alright! Got all the endings and it was so satisfying :"D Thank you so much!
Ayy m'encanta que estigue en català i anglés. Hauria d'haver fet el matiex amb el meu.
Apart d'això el joc es preciós pero trist, agobiant, a part de molt ben ajustat a la jam, quina rabia anti-sistema que em dona.
L'art, la música i el guió funcionen perfectament per transmetrem el mood. 10/10 de joc en serio
Jordi, moltes gràcies pel comentari <3
La decisió de fer-lo en català va ser bastant en part perquè m'és molt més fàcil expressar-me així a l'hora d'escriure... Sé que la traducció anglesa la podrà jugar més gent, però sento que la versió catalana m'ha quedat una mica menys limitada :)
Ohhh, té molt bona pinta!!
T'has plantejat publicar una versió de Linux per a que tothom hi pugui jugar?
Hola! Vull intentar-ho però per ara no tinc cap dispositiu Linux a l'abast per comprovar que tot funcioni correctament :,)
Si necessites que et faci de tester, encantadíssim! 😊
M'han comentat que funciona! Si igualment vols provar que tot estigui en ordre amb la versió de pc, sempre és d'ajuda :)
I love it i love the mold
Thanks!
Sad and beautifully done, with the music and the mix of photos and illustrations, the mold continuing to grow.
Thank you
Thanks to you for playing and for the nice comments :)
Sad
:,)
