[b] I want you to play it. [/b] ​𓊈 [i] PROS [/i] 𓊉 ㅤ — The [u]style[/u]. I am unaware of, and doubt I will ever find, another work capable of evoking something so untranslatable in a conventional way. ㅤ — The [u]metaphors[/u]. The depth of this piece took me by surprise. Its simplicity, its characters and every single one of its endings. ㅤ — The [u]details[/u]. You can feel the author's care and dedication in every corner, rewarding those who are fiercely observant. ㅤ — The [u]price[/u]. Paying such a low amount for a piece like this is literally a jackpot. ​𓊈 [i] CONS [/i] 𓊉 ㅤ — The [u]only[/u] negative detail I can think of was a minor texture bug in the item interface, but other than that, I can't think of another con. I want you to experience this. It's a deep-seated, highly unique niche gem crafted by a SINGLE mind that deserves so much more recognition, and I would give anything to play it for the first time all over again. ​𓊈 [i] RECOMMENDATIONS [/i] 𓊉 ㅤ — Pay close attention to what the [u]characters[/u] say, the [u]colors[/u] of some items and to the [u]notes[/u].

Nada es eterno. Solo la sopa de tomate.

Very interesting experience that could have been a lot more enjoyable if some things were a bit more clear, such as the things you can possibly interact with/the places you can reach.

A really cute yet surreal PSX-style game where you secrete your liquids into a pond. I'm not really sure how to describe the asthetics of this game beyond "weirdcore" but I really enjoy the retro graphics and seemingly disconnected settings of this game. There are a variety of different endings based on the aforementioned liquids you find to feed a floating birch tree, and each one is very finely crafted to evoke very specific feelings. That being said, many of the game's endings are hidden behind secrets that feel as if they come from the era this game is clearly inspired from. While finding these secrets is really fun, I did have to look up a decent amount in order to 100% this game. If you're into PSX style graphics and want a short game with nostalgic vibes, I strongly recommend this.

Essential play for indie devs. Hard to explain, but the art style and weird vibe make it one of the most unique games out there.

For the dev: thank you, I did enjoy it, I did have a good day, and I hope you do too. I'm glad you made this and are still making games. For everyone else: It's an excellent, shorter, strange (in a good way) experience. If the screenshots and videos make you interested or curious and you have $5 usd to spare I would say it's money well spent to pick this up.
