What players say
I quite enjoyed this game, the story and graphics were good in my opinion. While I wish it was a little longer, it was still a good one.

short and sweet and about grief, loss, illness, love, and hope. The hope really shines. The love, too. I was crying from feels at the end.
Chill cosy game with no bugs and a cool story, just get it on sale since its a bit overpriced (I beat it in 3 hours)
