I just wish it was a little longer. The art was so nice.

Developer

Thank you! Who knows, perhaps we'll expand it!

What a nice game!

It is so small but so impactful! Great great job on the art and audio work - just the few scenes made me imagine this world - one of the most original games I have played this jam!

As a nitpick, because I like to add one to my reviews haha - transitions between the scenes would have been nice, especially from the sheep to the lab. Felt a bit like my alarm clock was ringing and made me wake up from the most calm and beautiful dream I ever had :D

Please keep it up - I wanna play more novels in your style!

Oh, wow, thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot!! Ohh, that's great feedback, we'll keep that in mind!

Perhaps we'll continue working on it!

Nice! That's very neat :) Now I am inspired to do something similar for our game as well!

Looking forward to it-- share when you do. I'll need to check out your team's game as well, looks interesting!

This game was so beautiful, my teammate Patrocc told me I had to play it! Short and sweet, small moments to appreciate our shared humanity. My suggestion would be to highlight upon hovering so that the interactables are clear. Additionally, to make the text boxes stay a few second longer. What a pleasure this was, hope you guys expand on this once the jam is over. 

Developer(+1)

Oh, thank you very much for your kind words! I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, that highlighting issue is what we didn't have time to solve! Who knows, perhaps we'll expand this game!!

The theme comes across perfectly,  my favorite little moment was the janitor tucking the scientist in.
Awesome job with the art and sound, it felt really impactful with the still imagery.

Despite being pretty short, it's incredibly effective at getting the theme across. All of the art is lovely and the interactions between the characters is very touching. It's definitely more of a visual experience than a game, but nonetheless is very beautiful, well done!

Sometimes, it's hard for games to convey the simpleness of their story, whether that be through writing, music, art, and even level designing, and we somehow have to put it all together by some unknown magic to make it all work seamlessly. Your team has succeeded in delivering us a poem in game-form, that leaves us with a genuine impression that our humanity is what inspires our generosity. Beautiful work, and I hope you're all satisfied what you have brought us!

Developer(+1)

Omg, thank you so so much for your generous and beautiful words! We had a great team behind this and it somehow indeed worked like magic! We are very satisfied!

What an amazing atmosphere, visually and musically.

It's quite comforting and simple, but impactful nonetheless. I only had a little bit of trouble, trying to not click too fast to be able to read the text.  The only complain is that it's short, wish it was longer.

Congrats to everyone who where involved, it's quite a stunning work.

the art...the art is absolutely gorgeous and has so much gentleness and evocativeness to it...the theme holds so much depth; my one and only issue is not knowing where to click  - even something subtle yet intuitive would have done...but incredible work overall!

Thank you so much! Yeah, we had technical issues with highlighting stuff...

Such a beautiful game telling a great story! I really like how you focus on the small acts of generosity we can do as individuals, that then can make the world better for everyone.

Beautiful art and story. I really want to know more about the world, and the people! I wish there was a way to indicate with what you can interact with. For example changing the appearance of the cursor when it's on interactable things, or something of that nature.  Also, I've missed some dialogues since I was clicking everywhere, as another person stated. I wanted more. It's very pretty game :) 

Developer

Thank you so much! Who knows maybe we get inspired to make some more! Yeah, we were looking for ways to highlight what you need to interact with but ran out of time.

Such a beautiful well made experience! Really enjoyed this game and the experience overall. It was so nice to see a more narrative visual game that still has an interesting take on the theme! Good job!!

Hey it's Chris!
Gorgeous and elegant--it reads like a short opening to a compelling sci-fi graphic novel. The visual style melds seamlessly with sound and effects that just resonates with me, really. I only wished the click transitions happened a bit slower, since in order to compensate for not knowing what to do, I found myself clicking around and missing key dialogues on the first run. Sorry--another wish is for this game to go longer!
Amazing work for the jam guys! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!! Who knows maybe we'll continue on this if we get inspired! Great feedback! 
Gonna play yours today!
