When she steps into the living room, she expects to find her dad preparing for work. Instead, she finds a stranger sleeping on the couch.

The man wakes up, looks at the girl, and sighs. Ignoring her confusion, he mumbles to himself with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"It's really time to get ready."

Scared, the girl runs. She must leave the house.

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2026-08-11*

I love it! My only problem with this is that I didn’t buy it sooner. What a twist, btw! If the devs see this, I hope you know you’re all amazing! Keep working hard to make things like this! :3

### 5/5 — Great twist very moving

*2026-08-09*

Great game of show don’t tell. Love the twist and love the a ha moments of the very simple puzzles

### 5/5 — Beautiful Game

*2026-07-29*

First thing first - the “errors” other users mentioned at the beginning are not a glitch, they are a storytelling device. You’re not supposed to be able to type, it’s supposed to get you into the mindset of being disconnected from reality that the main character feels.

Otherwise, this is a really beautiful piece of storytelling. I wouldn’t want to spoil it with anymore details. My recommendation if you purchase this is to go with the flow, experiment, and let it take you on the journey that it intends to.

### 3/5 — Might be a glitch?

*2026-07-27*

I downloaded the game and came to the same error as other users- not able to type name. What I found out was that if you RAPIDLY tap the little button on the screen, it proceeds the story. I was able to play! I really enjoyed overall

### 5/5 — It’s not a bug, it’s a feature

*2026-07-22*

TLDR I played this game from start to finish on iPhone and it is not broken at all. It’s short, bittersweet, compelling, and worth the money.

From start to finish, this game will make you struggle, and I do say that lovingly. This is part of the story, and it was crafted to be confusing and sometimes frustrating, often ineffable. These elements help to insert the player into the character’s experience. She’s confused, she’s frustrated, and she’s struggling. If you are feeling this, the game is succeeding.

As can be seen in the poor reviews of this game, many users misunderstood the intro, which drops the user immediately into the confusion. The game is going to APPEAR to ask you for your name, but you’re not meant to answer the question. You just keep tapping until it appears to glitch out and then asks what seems to be a series of unanswerable and/or nonsense questions. Proceed as if it all makes sense, even though it doesn’t, and I promise you will land at the story. You do not ever need to type in this game. Any space that seems like you need to type, just click until it goes away.

### 1/5 — Has anyone gotten it to work?

*2026-07-07*

The app just doesn’t work. I’ve tried both iPad and iPhone. I sent an email to the developer. Am waiting to hear back.

### 5/5 — 考えさせられるけど、凄く泣けた

*2026-07-02*

[ネタバレ注意！！]






初めから最後までずっと夫がいてましたが、でも主人公は忘れてしまっていて相手の方が
「お父さん」じゃなくて「夫」だと分かった瞬間涙が溢れました。歳を重ねていくごとにゲームの操作が難しくなってなり、よりいっそう認知症が進行していく感覚でした。
1番最後の夫の「隣の席、空けててくれるかい？」みたいなセリフで余計涙ダバダバでした。
それに、なんと言っても曲が良かったです。また、色彩が混沌としていなくて決まった色のみだけだったので見やすく、雰囲気も良かった。
文章力がない私でごめんなさい。でも、本当に考えさせられていく内容でした。
有料でどうしても手を出すのが不安な方がいるかもしれません。
ですが、どうか買ってやってみてください。

### 5/5 — 泣きました

*2026-07-01*

ドパ泣きです。

### 5/5 — 愛ある作品に最大の愛を。

*2026-06-30*

大好きです。

### 1/5 — Steels your $

*2026-06-30*

I’m trying to access this on an iPhone perhaps it really is only for an iPad. This game opens and asks you to type your name, but there is no way to open a keyboard. It starts getting glitchy and eventually moves onto the next page where it asks how you learned of the game, but some of the options are agree. There’s no keyboard when it asks your email address. There’s no way to enter the information it’s requesting to start. So the game converts back to the beginning and asks you if you want to resume or start a new game. You can never start to play on an iPhone.
