Made me cry

I absolutely loved this game especially because I and my partner are artists and I can’t imagine my life without him. He brings so much color into my life. Thank you for making this ! I look forward to more games like this .

Very interesting and unexpected!

Honestly I am pretty good at picking up how a story will end before it really starts, but I was really shocked at how unpredictable the entire story was. Very beautiful, I would play more from this creator.

Incredible interactive story telling

Such a delicate and beautiful game. I loved every moment of playing this game .. the characters, the paintings, the story that is pieced back together in such a beautiful way
