hello! I've played your game. It's really beautiful and emotional. I've noticed when you play it for the second time the whole experience is different! Ending surprised me I didn't know what's happening, but I realized soon enough! It's a really beautiful game. I hope you're doing okay. Good job! <3

This story got me right in the heart. And how you lead up to the finale was incredible, the plot kept me guessing until the very end (the end hit like a sucker punch). Loved the soundtracks too, the twinkling melody is so saddening and the sounds of the sea are so nostalgic... this game really is a powerful elegy on grief and death.


Thank you for sharing this. It is a very precious game.

Thank you so much Yuu!! I'm glad you enjoyed this game ^^ I was a little worried the theme might've been too heavy so I'm happy to hear it is still enjoyable

That's okay and I really appreciated the theme being heavy in places too, it's not easy to find a game that expresses grief in such a nuanced and comfortable way

i am in tears and will be drowning in feels for a good while ;w;

everything from the art to the writing to the overall feel and atmosphere was lovely. a bittersweet experience that's gonna live rent-free in my head.

I will treasure your tears 💧💧 Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The art is so lovely! I love the atmosphere too; it manages to be very sombre and impactful while also being tightly written and well-paced. I managed to guess the ending a little before the reveal, but that didn't make the end any less impactful.

This was a really nice story; it felt very earnest and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing it!

And your character designs look really stylish!

Ahhh thank you so much Ebi!! 😭I'm glad it was still impactful! I hoped that players could see what was happening with the clues I left in leading up.

And I'm so glad, I had a fun challenge designing and coloring them so I'm glad they're well received!!

Ngh, even just by looking at the title I know what the outcome would be but I was intrigued ;-; its great huhu

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the game! ;u;" for better or worse, the title came to mind immediately upon finishing writing... My brain would not choose anything else haha

So bittersweet and sad! But I loved this game and I read you made it in ten days, it's really good especially considering the time limit! 
Loved the art and the story, keep up the good work!
