Great little graphic novel. I would prefer the minigames to be shorter, but to each his own. Absolutely magnificent art and cute dialogues. The story is metaphysical and has daydreaming quality, not entirely serious but still musing about life and death somewhat lazily. I liked the vibe and think it is very much worth checking out.

nice art, but takes its entire runtime to build up to an interesting premise that is shut down mere seconds later

please note that i think this game is good even if the review is negative. its better to describe this as a motion picture manga instead of a game. you cannot 'win', nor 'lose', and your choices seem to make no difference. the purpose of this software is to tell a story from A to B no matter what, and that is not a bad thing. that being said, the story isn't really thought-provoking. it talks about life and death in an exploratory way with some interesting ideas, but it fails to get me invested in the characters. theyre written pretty simply and have no real opinions or mindset to pick at, which could be justified by the ending but doesnt make it any more compelling to read. it also leaves you with a few unsatisfying questions, like "how are they running simulations? where are they doing it? what world do these people live in that they have to look at records of human life to imitate it?" those could be interesting plot points to develop. the one thing i can praise is the art. the art is so beautiful and regardless of its 1-bit palette the artist wonderfully brings out lots of visual emotion and form with even just two colors. i would love to play something like this if the story…

Really excellent. I love the visual design and storytelling. Games like this make me very happy.

i'm flabbergasted. Wow, i thought it was impossible to find a game like this. deep, extremely, but you have to be willing to go down there. amazing art (hope is not ai), nice music, i really felt transportated there. it makes you think, it makes you wander, it makes you realize, see things not as good or bad anymore. it's incredible how such a short game (1 hour and 30 minutes for me) made me feel these emotions. but not for everyone. PS. this game could be actually used as a base concept for psychological experiments on perceptions of others emotions
