I'm not sure I understood everything but I do at least think I found everything and either way, this was so good. 👏 Really hope to see more games from you in the future.
Great game! Really pretty, and with a compelling story, all in a nicely bite-sized experience. I did encounter a few issues while playing though, which I'll put here so that the developer is aware:
Here are screenshots of a couple of these occurrences. Overall I still enjoyed the game despite these issues, but would be good if the more egregious issues here were fixed. To anyone who wants to play this: just save frequently and you'll be fine (also probably don't give it your location permission, to be safe).
Short, nicely written and beautifully illustrated. Both endings were neat and satisfying. Well done, with this.
this absolutely rocks, it's not always something is able to so fully immerse me like this game did... charming visuals and interesting worldbuilding too!!
wick did get stuck on various objects a couple of times, all of em in the scripted walking back sequence so i'd advise to save frequently, still, incredible work
I finished this game today, got both endings, I really liked it!
But did anyone find page 6? I couldn't find that one :(
After it starts raining on day 3, cross the bridge at the top left of the garden. That's where page 6 is iirc.
Pretty cool game! I love the visuals of this game I will say. Lore and storywise, it’s decent-pretty good range I will say... tho yeah I’m kind of came prepared since I saw the comment of yours this game cannot be fixed without breaking, and so I played this with aggressive saving in mind. It did internal crash and freezed at certain points, which I timestamped as well for a reference. Also during the sink fixing part, portion of the images will go missing everytime the wrench area is interacted.
Regardless of the issues I experience, I enjoyed the game! Hope to see more soon in the future.
cool but think need fix
Hi thanks for the comment! Unfortunately this error is due to an outdated plugin- I cannot fix it without breaking the game :( It occurs randomly so you should be able to just try again from your last save and hopefully it won’t show up again!
Great game, I really like it, but does anyone know how to find page 3 and page 6?
Page 6 is to the top right of the garden on day 3. Page 3 is either in the tree-house or in front of the pond, I think?
Awesome game w/ really pretty graphics and cutscenes + a well done atmosphere, u nailed it!!
Really neat game. Good job <3
this game but bees in my bonnet
Nice! Can't wait to check this out!
