Sobbing like a big baby
Never thought a game on my phone could make me ugly cry, but here we are. Interesting concept, beautiful heart wrenching story told in a unique way.
As an adult now, I can understand both perspectives; the parents’ and the child’s. As someone with far too many similarities to Benny, this story struck a nerve.
Minus a star because the blinking mechanism didn’t seem to work properly at times, like when trying to answer the phone but time skipped forward instead. It could be very finicky. Also a lot of the story gets missed if you’re unable to refrain from blinking for long periods of time. Wish there was a way to see all the parts I missed. Beautifully captures life; and the loss of it.Thank You
I want to thank the authors for this beautiful piece of art. This is more of a story than a game. It speaks highly of the emotional intelligence of the authors. I cried partly die to sadness but mostly because I was moved. The game simplifies life choices and made it very clear to me I have been too focused on my career. It is unvelievable that someone found a way to summarize life so eloquently, in a way that made me rethink my own. I want to thank the authors for being so thoughtful in making this art.Awesome experience
This game was an emotional rollercoaster. Having your eyes guide you throughout the game made the experience personal. It’s about how the life you live doesn’t have to be great to be proud of it. Your ordinary experiences like playing piano with your mom, getting a pet, and your first love all makeup who you are and that’s enough. It’s a beautiful message about being yourself and being happy with the life you have lived. Yes it was difficult at times to have your eyes open for long and sometimes you would skip scenes if you didn’t hold your eyes open. But that’s the point. Memory isn’t perfect. There are things that are harder to remember because of the emotional connection you have with said memory. That’s what makes it real. Also, how we tend to underestimate our lives. Every second counts because you are alive. I felt very connected with the character, and I’m sure everyone can, because it shows how quickly time does pass by.
