A Lozenge

Short but still interesting. A slice of life existential story. If you are into it then it is worth having a look. A few choices only but still interesting.

Thoughtful, moving, very short interactive story. Recommended.

Довольно таки неплохо сделана данная новелла, проходя её можно почувствовать на себе переживания главных героев, спасибо что создали её, мне очень понравилось. Конечно печалит что такая короткая и я буду очень рад если будет продолжение этой истории.)))

A short and sweet game about a mother and daughter driving home, and their caring relationship.

A fun little story that hits on some beautiful moments between a recently divorced mother and her child. I thought the music was sweet, although the lack of visual change throughout the game made for a very static experience. All in all though I would recommend people give it a go. Relax and watch a cute little story unfold.

[i] My Experience [/i] After seeing such potential in developer Party for Introverts' last game, From Head to Toe, I wanted to play A Lozenge as soon as possible. I was rewarded with an exceptional piece of art - this game is even better than the last. The lozenge itself is a superb metaphor - what can Lucy really say to Michelle in this moment that would actually be helpful? However, her attempt to present an illusion of normalcy is poignant, however much it falls short. Sometimes it's all you have to give. Parental separation is almost inevitably damaging, but even if the parents were to remain together, the child certainly perceives and is affected by the tension. But how can a child understand the weeks or months it took her mother to collect the resolve to leave? Why can't we just go back for the toy she forgot? I'm not sure that these comments are helpful to a potential buyer, but I wanted to depict in some way the multiple layers that make up what is actually happening during this mother/daughter road trip. This game says an awful lot in 15 minutes.

Normally, there's a point in these interactive stories where I wish I could speed thing up a bit. But this game is [i]that[/i] short that it never came to this. Every of the ~5 or so dialogs hit home, and then the credits rolled.
