itch.io

hi! this game looks very cute so i wanted to try it out, but i seem to be experiencing some bugs that make it so i am unable to play (firefox, mac laptop)

when i try to put the pokeball in the first slot, the entire game freezes, and firefox shows me a warning that says "this page is slowing down firefox".

 when i click on any of the items (left or right click), it moves like it wants to be clicked and dragged, but when i drag it over the pokemon or right click with it, nothing happens?

ive tried refreshing, turning on/off hardware acceleration, but still the same issue.

so much said in such a short story... your work is very evocative and really resonates with me, this one especially.

several years ago, i moved out from the country i spent most of my life in, hoping for a better life in another country. while my current circumstances arent the best, i feel like i can never go back to my home country now. the world has moved on without me, and ive lost touch with most people i knew. ive even forgotten parts of my language. ive always felt alienated back home, so i thought itd be different here – it was not.

sorry if that was tmi. i just wanted to say youve really captured how it all feels.
oof ouch (complimentary)

i echo the sentiments of the comment by kalechips – the aching for a world that no longer resembles that which you once knew, but being too alien for the one you are currently in. "where am i supposed to go now" indeed...
