"her tears were my light" is a simple indie game that takes the concept of time and rewinding/loading your game in visual novels and implements it into the actual gameplay, you play as Time, who eventually meets Space while wandering through the void, and the story continues from then on, and- it's literally just perfection.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

and then there's the gameplay and dialogue, which was also really interesting and fun to mess around with, obviously a 10/10 game.
Graphics

Their art style is just as charming here, and it immediately pulled me in.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
the OST was really fitting and i loved it lots, but i think my personal favourite aspect would be the artstyle!!!
