About Dear Mom

"...there are things I couldn't say, but there's so much I wish you had known. There are things I never meant but said, being rude, speaking in arrogant tone. But, time made me realize that black and white isn't always wise, and that sometimes, things can be grey..."

'Dear Mom' is a short narrative-adventure game, an emotional narrative about a child’s feelings written to her mom, a letter which, always, will remain unread.

Key Feature: -
  • A poetic narration of a letter, written to mom.
  • Focuses more on experience rather than actions and puzzles.
  • A 15-30 minutes immersive emotional experience.
  • An unforgettable lifetime experience.

I'm not really sure if Dear Mom is an asset flip. Some elements of this game certainly make it seem like the developer put some effort into assembling some kind of original here. On the other hand, a lot of the game assets don't seem like they were created by the developer, but they haven't credited any asset creators for supplying assets, which might be a case of plagiarism. There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is indistinguishable from many asset flip/cash grab scams, and that's a problem in itself. This is a poorly made walking sim, you just walk around a (probably) asset flipped scene and collect little floating hearts, each heart throws a bit more narrative at you. It's got a voiceover so at least they put some effort in, one of the reasons I feel this is a more sincere attempt to make a game, although failing to credit asset creators is wrong. It's very short and simply not worth the money considering how many better free games you could be spending your time with. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that…

Игра 'Dear Mom' – это трогательное и эмоциональное приключение, заставляющее задуматься о важности семейных связей и быстротечности времени. Сюжет, повествующий о путешествии сына к матери, пропитан любовью, ностальгией и сожалением. Визуальный стиль игры, выполненный в мягких пастельных тонах, создает атмосферу тепла и уюта, идеально дополняя эмоциональную составляющую. Геймплей, хоть и простой, позволяет полностью погрузиться в историю и прочувствовать каждое мгновение путешествия. Музыкальное сопровождение, в свою очередь, усиливает эмоциональный эффект, делая переживания главного героя еще более ощутимыми. 'Dear Mom' – это не просто игра, а интерактивный рассказ, способный затронуть самые глубокие струны души. Если вы ищете что-то большее, чем просто развлечение, и готовы к искренним эмоциям, то эта игра, безусловно, заслуживает вашего внимания. Она напоминает о том, как важно ценить каждый момент, проведенный с близкими, и не откладывать важные слова на потом.

As a artistic piece of self-expression this cool. As a game, no. Especially given you'll have to ctrl+alt+detete out of it. Pass

A really sweet story about taking things and people for granted and how to think of things passed. I really liked it and they way it was told. Its not big but still very nice. Its FREE and i can totally recommend it

This is a very touching game that talks about real things that everyone with a mom can relate to. It's a simple game with a few easily obtainable achievements. I feel like the environment is bigger than it needs to be for a short game.
