I will admit, I was able to speedrun this in about 30 seconds once I understood all the interactions.
The scenery and music are beautiful, but the player can easily undermine that. Games like this need to add time to pause and reflect upon the small things that happen, whether that is with dialogue, a long transition, a cutscene, or a detailed animation. Making the player wait helps them watch events unfold as they interact with the world.
IMO, point and click games should also give you the ability to solve puzzles, make measurable progress, and explore. I feel that is missing here to some degree.
So, if you do plan to develop this further I would suggest the following:
As a short, slice of life experience with human generosity on full display, this is exceptional. I hope my feedback is useful for you guys! Don't let my fast clicking undermine the experience :P
Ohh, thank you very much for your detailed insights! This is super valuable. We might make something longer in the future and we will take all this into account! Thank you!!
Excellent feedback, thank you! ! !
I really liked this! felt like playing through a lovely comic with an intriguing world and overall vibe that I would absolutely devour haha
would've liked a bit more hinting on where to click at least at the start of each scene since I ended up accidently skipping a couple bits of text.
overall awesome submission, would love to see more <3
Thank you! That's a common & important piece of feedback we've been receiving. & if you'd like, you can check out some out some behind-the-scenes for the art here on our post:

OH Woah that's awesome!! It is definitely great if you're building up portfolio!!
Story - Very cool concept piece! Loved the small acts that made all the difference. I'm not sure what is happening in this world, but the peacefulness makes me okay with that.
Mechanics - I found myself clicking all over the place, hoping that I'd find the clickable thing. Because of this, I accidentally skipped almost all of the dialogue between the characters, because I'd click so fast that the speech bubble wouldn't have time to load. I think the strongest bit was the final scene in the night sky. The interactable elements gave a very gentle wiggle that made it very clear what I was supposed to click on next, which allowed me to be a little more precise and take my time with the scene.
Theme - Little moments of generosity and kindness. Really touching stuff.
Audio/Visual - Amazing audio, amazing visuals. That night sky after the clouds passed was *chef's kiss*
Overall - Cool little bite-sized experience! Great job!
Thank you so much for very thorough feedback! We are so glad you liked it!!

Brings you into its own little world. Atmosphere is warm and beautiful, though it’s over in a blink of an eye.

Cute game, I loved the narrative. I would have preferred if the text popped up by itself rather than me hovering over certain objects to reveal it. I was frantically click and moving my mouse to figure out what I was doing next.
Good job on the game!
Thank you! That's good feedback!! We'll take it into account!
