A short emotional story. Nice visual style and music. I recommend everyone to try it
Although quite short, I really enjoyed the game and the idea. Voice-acting and music really goes far for this game. Well done except a few bugs and a couple missing functions in the game overall.
A nice short, elegant game and story.
I switched off all the lights when leaving the house and thought that the pitch black screen was because of a scene transition. It wasn't. It was pitch black because I had switched off all the lights.
Short but sweet, it's really touching
Short and sweet yet somber title about losing your wife, but finding hope elsewhere. Took me like 25 mins. I can see it taking around 90 mins to get a complete all options seen playthrough in.
Carry Onward is a game that emphasizes the power of listening. You're not solving any puzzles, or conjuring up solutions to problems. Instead, you're asked to simply listen as a man grieves over the loss of his wife. I'm glad I did. It's short and sweet.
Short but touching experience! Loved it!
very thoughtful game, tries to convey a message and easily accomplishes this
Очень рад, что ознакомился с новым творением отечественных разработчиков. Простая и незамысловатая игра, подкупающая атмосферой и трогательной историей. Я очень люблю игры в подобном дизайне, поэтому с удовольствием поиграл в неё. Очень рекомендую к прохождению
