çok iyi oyun bi de türkçe dil desteği olsa
like a dandelion this is.....
Je m'attendais pas à grand chose et j'ai été agréablement surpris, le jeu offre à chaque personnage une histoire touchante et tragique à découvrir, des personnages qui nous révèle leurs personnalité aussi mauvaise que bonne, une nuance assez intéressante. L'ost est très jolie et le style graphique très sympathique, un superbe jeu
剧透警告 被所有人讨厌、遗忘、无视:社会性死亡。 社会性死亡,进入彼岸。 对人世绝望,烧为灰烬。 决心孤立,走向虚无,被吞没。 依然抱有希望,通过电梯重返人世。
lots of emotions and a hard hitting story
this has been a beautiful experience, my emotions towards the characters have changed a lot with every ending, but I ended up liking them a lot. I definitely recommend playing this, it´s worth it
A beautiful story about isolation and connection, that hit very close to home.
death is my favorite character
Nice and short story game, enjoyed my time here
I can't believe this game made me cry in such little time. An actual gem with beautiful art and incredible story-telling that really gets you thinking. Painful, but amazing.
