it's incredible how such a complex and important theme was explored so successfully through this short narrative...and in just 48 hours.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is beautiful and melancholic, perfectly complementing the theme.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
the title reminded me of a line from a Toad the Wet Sprocket song which led me to want to check it out. dont know if theres a connection there but even if there isnt i still liked this one. the controls are pretty simple and the game is more focused on the story its telling than the gameplay.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
That the graphics are so simple plays into the story quite well as especially details can slip away even for someone with a good memory.
