oyunun tarzı farklı ve çok güzel gayette eğlenceliydi 20dk da bitirmek için çerezlik kısa ama güzel bir oyun
Короткая игра с простыми головоломками и небольшой историей. Жалко только что нет русского
游戏不长,非常简短,美术很不错,故事也还可以,推荐大家都来玩

짧고 간단한 퍼즐/ 플렛포머 게임. 할 때 두통 있어서 그런 건지는 몰라도 조금 멀미났음. 스토리는 되게 없다. 엔딩까지 20분 정도 걸릴 정도로 짧은 게임인 것도 있는데, 걍 스토리 짜는 사람이 중간에 엎은 듯. [spoiler]치매와 부모에 관해 뭔가 이야기를 하려던 거 같은데 풀더빙 한 거에 비해서 뭐가 없음. 연출도 애매하고. [/spoiler] 더빙이 되어 있는데 막상 로그는 없어서 대사 한 번 놓치면 어 뭐더라 해야함. 컨트롤이 아예 끔찍한 건 아닌데 좀 불편한 구석이 있음. 크레딧 보니까 개발 인원은 제법 되던데 왜 이정도밖에 안 되는 게임이 나왔는지 모르겠다. 그래도 무료 게임이라서 도전과제 용으로 한 번쯤 할만함. 그래픽도 뭔가 스케치와 유화를 오고가는 느낌을 주려고 노력했지만, 실패한 모습이다. 용량은 왜 이렇게 높은지 모르겠음. 그냥 그럭저럭 할만하지만, 그렇게까지 잘 만든 게임은 아니고, 무료니까 해볼 수도 있겠다- 정도. 근데 안 하는 게 더 나을 수도 있음. 재미가 그닥 없음. 그래도 사랑하냐는 나쁜말은 ㄴㄴ.
Comovente. Jogabilidade rápida, mas que te faz relembrar (caso quem teve) de parentes que já tiveram mal de alzheimer. A arte e as "paradas" que são feitas ao decorrer do jogo, demonstram como a pessoa se perde em si mesma, esquece sua filha, neta, e esquece quem ela mesma é. Não tenho palavras pra descrever a delicadeza emocional que os desenvolvedores tiveram em descrever essa doença que afeta o físico e principalmente o mental. O final é simplesmente uma mistura de emoções, desde a filha perguntar se a mãe iria lembrar dela no dia seguinte, até a resposta da idosa "talvez sim, talvez não, mas ainda continuarei orgulhosa de você". Recomendo a todos jogarem pelo menos uma vez, para se entender pelo menos um pouquinho do que se passa na cabeça de alguém que sofre com isso, e as pessoas ao redor dela... A arte é simples, mas imagino que seja um dos primeiros jogos a serem desenvolvidos, ou que seja um projeto de conclusão do curso, mas independente, continua sendo um ótimo jogo. Nota 10 pela história e delicadeza colocada pelos desenvolvedores
An impressive story that, with a simple yet powerfully effective dynamic, propels the narrative forward and deeply moves you. Beautiful story. We need to support projects like this, stories like this.

It's an okay puzzle platformer that's thankfully short. Didn't much care for the plot.
[b]# --- MY THOUGHTS:[/b] This game has an ok story, ok graphics and ok mechanics. The puzzles weren't anything to brag about in terms of difficulty, but they worked fine alongside the concept of painted worlds that are meant to exist in layers. Also, there's voice acting and I thought it was pretty good. [b]# --- RATING: 6.5/10[/b]
Never thought a simple game can also be like exciting. It was easy but yet tough when you make your brain-cells work to complete the puzzles. And I loved the art style, the little creepy vibes and the last part... "I'll remember, mom." and the brush cursor too. I wished It would have been a bit more longer and got some more achievements. But yeah, I did love this game.
