My life with you

My life with you is a very gentle narrative game that I found more emotional than I expected. It follows a young single mother trying to balance work, household responsibilities and raising her child, and I liked that the story focuses on ordinary problems instead of trying to create unnecessary drama. The gameplay is intentionally simple. I move through the protagonist's daily life, take care of the child, look for work and interact with the people around her. There are no timers or stressful mechanics pushing me forward, which makes the experience feel more like watching a small slice of someone's life than playing a traditional adventure game. I especially liked the relationship between the mother and her child. The game spends most of its attention on their bond, and the little everyday moments help communicate how much responsibility the protagonist is carrying. I found those scenes more effective because the story does not need huge set pieces to make the characters feel human. The hand drawn presentation also works really well.

Lovely game, as a Mum myself this made me cry. Beautiful work. <3

I couldn't finish it. I got to chapter 3 and got stuck. I watched a youtube video of how to get past the book shelving and I tried hovering over the thought bubble with his face but it didn't work. It was also really hard to tell what to do most of the time, and most of it was scrolling.

emotional rollercoster but its so beautiful and the art also

It's small, but it's good. Even you're even kind of interested, just play it, your heart will thank you.

Decent story, really cool water color images, but not a well made game. With better play-testing and mostly standart and moderm GUI, this game could have been a great 2D interactive story, but the experience is mid, even faulty at times, for example, the lack of tutorials or hints, the use of keyboard buttons, lack of V-Sync because the GPU was running at max usage and 999FPS, the "pages" went back by it's own, and refined mouse controls, makes this a disappointment of a great game (in terms of doing a proper, optimized and accesible game). Good "story book", but not a great game, even for a 2D scroll story.
