I love how a game so simple, covered so many aspects of how it feels to deal with derealization, and depression. The letting you, and your surroundings become a wreck, not eating well or not eating at all, having moments where all you do is put yourself down, it was incredible that you were able to make a game that was less then a 30 minute play, and yet so detailed. I played it twice to make sure I got the full experience and d*** you did a great job.
Proof that a game doesn't have to be a thousand hours long to make an impact. Thank you for this, and for If On A Winter's Night, Four Travelers as well. <3
There is always something cathartic in reliving those experiences or seeing yourself reflected in somebody else's work, I think. But at least they are only memories now, right? :)
Thanks a lot for giving this little, still-amateurish game of mine a chance!
Well, judging from the state of my kitchen one could think otherwise, But yes they are very distant memories now. I wish I had played this game back then. Its ultimately a very uplifting story. Mainly because it feels like sharing an authentic experience instead of telling a cautionary tale. Thanks for making it! I didn't find it amateurish at all. Well except for that utterly pointless inventory. Sorry! ;)
It's a well known fact that if you don't include an inventory and at least one random puzzle in your first adventure game, the Point & Click Police will show up at your place and take away your license. It's a mandatory rite of passage :P
Although it's optional, it's interesting that most people I've seen playing this never get to use the inventory. Maybe I should have included better hints!
A game has not to be long to be good and enjoyable. Yours is a proof of that.
The background theme is interesting. The story is well written. The graphics choice is well executed. The atmosphere is strong : there's life in this game/story.
Merci Nicolas for such an encouraging comment! I've actually been wanting to play your game for a while now because I saw the the thread on the AGS forums and it looks really cool, but I still haven't found a moment to get around to it. When I do, I'll certainly let you know!
You're welcome, Laura! Don't feel obliged to play my game, though... (it hasn't the 'depth' of yours). That said, if you do, I'm always happy to have a feedback - every criticism is welcome 😉.

God, this game brings back so many numb memories of depression. I can't believe I actually enjoyed playing it. But I did. I really did.

Very well written story, good atmospheric music. For your first game, it's awesome. Keep doing this stuff!

That's so sweet, thanks for taking a minute to let me know! <3
