Красивая короткая игра про двух художников, историю которых раскрывают через квест задачи, дорисовывание картины разными цветами и короткими сюжетными главами.
When I first played the game, I felt like I was watching an animated movie instead of playing a game. I play as a young artist who is preparing a painting for an art exhibition. As I paint and solve puzzles, I slowly discover her memories and her special connection with an elderly artist who lives nearby. The best part of the game for me was the art style and the emotional story. Every scene was so beautiful, and the music made the game feel warm and peaceful. I loved exploring the apartment because every little detail felt meaningful. The relationship between the young artist and the elderly painter was also very touching. It reminded me how art can hold memories and connect people. I also really enjoyed the simple and relaxing gameplay. Most of the time, I was painting, sketching, solving small puzzles, and doing little daily activities. The puzzles were easy to understand, and I liked that the game focused more on the story and atmosphere instead of being challenging. I played this game a long time ago, but I still remember how much I enjoyed it. Highly recommend it!
Я... ридав в кінці. Ось чесно, не пам'ятаю, щоб хоч якась гра викликала в мене такі емоції. Максимум - ком у горлі. Ви отримуєте прекрасну історію кохання з меланхолійним настроєм, неймовірно гарним візуальним стилем і проникливим саундом. Рекомендую всім.
Приобрела эту красоту сразу после прохождения Демо версии. Очень красивая рисовка, я теку
came with no expectations, and the art is so beautiful that I sunk into this game for 2 hours.
画面美丽,但故事实在平平无奇。
Wow. This game was nothing like what I expected it to be. I fully expected this to be a puzzle game with a cute, cozy aesthetic, however this is so much mroe than that! First of all, the animation and atmosphere the artists created are absolutely stunning!! It felt like playing a game animated by Studio Ghibli. The gameplay itself is very satisfying, and some of the puzzles do require you to put on your thinking hat ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ And the story is so insanely beautiful and bitter sweet, I didn't expect it at all! It's a very short game, but so well designed. Good job to the creators! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
As a game, it feels just like you are completing meaningless chores - scratch over this area to pretend you are creating a drawing/painting. The puzzles are trivial/repetitive. Both of these disrupt the story, and in the end I couldn't care less about it - I just wanted to wrap it up. IMHO, it would have been much better off as a short story than a game.
thanks i cried
在干嘛?是有什么毛病吗?让女主画成这样?还把那个男的画全部摆在家里,干嘛?搞对比吗?怎么在这个男的意淫里面,女主就画成这样吗?他是想表达什么?他是想表达他觉得她的画根本不配吗?且不说解谜和剧情,这画画到后面越画越恶心,越画越生气,不敢想这种事情出一个能考上巴黎的人之手,什么意思啊?这充其量是一个自以为深情的男的,满脑子的意淫,什么少年不可得之物中要困其一生,困到男主什么了?不是要开画展找个主题吗?想不出别的,就想起自己多年前喜欢的一个女的,人家有自己好的生活,也是让男主蹭上了是吧
