A Story Beside

This game was so interesting to see what it is like to be an NPC in an RPG. I thought it was neat how you get to play out the "mc's" whole life time. Since you are an npc don't expect any fighting or anything. This is sort of more like a walking and fetching type game with lots of dialog and story. The story was really bittersweet and made me tear up at times. Over all I really enjoyed this game.

A game for those who want a calm and relaxing game, to appreciate life, understand the beauty of relationships and see the world on another perspective than the busy and bustling life of a main character

Very touching game with a beautiful story. The pixel art is also so pretty to look at.

*tears* *so many tears* An exceedingly beautiful story.

I don't know if I'll ever find the words to describe how this story made me feel. I don't think I've ever genuinely sobbed or wholeheartedly smiled at a story like this ever- not a movie, not a novel, and certainly never a video game. It's only been a few years since its release (though truthfully it feels as though a decade has passed), but I've revisited this game countless times. I only appreciate it more as the years pass, and I imagine that will continue to be the case. I hope that in my old age, no matter how the world changes and technology advances, I will be able to revisit this game and rediscover it with an entirely new perspective. Living as Lyric, even if only for a few hours at a time, has had a profound and lasting impact on me, and I hope that it will have the same effect on any who choose to start their journey in Pyreside.

A truly beautiful game. A hidden gem. A story that will make you smile, laugh, and cry. This is definitely going to be added to my list of all-time favorite games.

Beautiful game and beautiful story! Played this last summer and it still stays with me. I got two different endings, the first by just playing and the second(Best ending) by following a guide, but they both left me in tears. Would definitely recommend!

An extremely moving story about how a life lived has value and how choices matter, even when they don't.
