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

Это увлекательная игра, которая полностью погружает вас в захватывающую историю и превращает вас в настоящего героя. Удовольствие приносит и современная минималистичная графика, в игру реально приятно играть. Советую ознакомиться с этим продуктом. 12/10

I feel like I need to make a game to express my guilt in giving this a Do Not Recommend. But jokes aside...this isn't a terrible experience. It isn't really a game, per say. The game opens with the background of the character, with you choosing one of two options in various scenes (I think identical to Firewatch). Unlike Firewatch, I didn't really feel connected to either the main character or the character in his past when it was over. Once the game begins, you explore the four room house (five, at the end). You click on items around the rooms, and then pick a one-word summary of the item with very little context. I clicked on a cutting board on a kitchen counter, and got options like "Memories" and "Nourishment", and then the character pontificates about the option selected. I think it turns out the cutting board represented recipes? There wasn't a ton of context as to what I was reacting to, and hence with it being sort of "random" what my reaction meant that I was choosing, I was a bit detached from the results. Apparently, there are multiple endings. I didn't replay it...the ending I got seemed good enough. The music seemed nice, but without an emotional connection to the characters, I just never really got that emotional kick. I know this all sounds harsh...and I don't want it to be. I fully support this dev (absolutely not refunding) and I hope that this feedback is helpful in some way. If I could wave a magic want and change things, I would've suggested this game spend "more time in the oven" so it could've developed more of a backstory and the character more of a personality. But I wouldn't ignore any future works by this dev!

The game while short has a very real emotional resonance for someone going through grief. I found myself crying through most of it while playing. The narrator does a great job of really bringing across the duality of feelings and reflections of going through such a drastic unexpected change.

It helped me through my loss. thank you

What a wonderful little gem. I bought this game on sale but now even seeing it I want to pay more! It's well worth the asking price of $4.99, just know that it's a short short "game" but more importantly its an emotional work of art. I've only been through 1 possible version, but I see the tags say that it has multiple endings. Maybe I'll go through it another time or two down the line. Thank you for this devs!

15-20 minute narrative short about a man packing up his house and dealing with his grief over his dead wife. Nothing interesting here on either a mechanical or narrative level; sure, it's short, but there are plenty of better walking sims you can play instead.
