that was an absolute gut punch. currently sobbing.
small warning for a bit of personal stuff - my mom died four months ago, extremely unexpectedly. no lead up, nothing. just immediate. today is my 22nd birthday. the first without her. this struck so many important chords in me. thank you for making this.
What a great experience! I love how the progression is executed. And the emotional impact of the story is all the more impressive when you consider how simply and efficiently it was told.
Thanks for making this! Sorry there's no sound on the Beta ROM, if that's what you used. The digital edition ROM from Incube8 has chiptune sound. If you play it in the browser there should be color and mp3 sound also.
When I read what this game was about, I bought it sight unseen on incube8. I was not disappointed. Absolutely beautiful and well made. Can't wait to see what comes next for this creator. Fantastic job.
One of the best experiences I've had with a gameboy game. From the way the passing of time is conveyed, the changes in scenery, the music, and the well written dialogue.
A beautiful and emotional experience all the way through!
With the newly released Analogue Pocket, and the newest update for GB Studios, are you planning to publish the .pocket version of this game? I’d love to be able to play this on my Pocket, so I hope so!
Such a beautiful game Hadrian! I would really love to find out more about the sound & colour hacking - I'm about to start a project of my own and I'm trying to see if it's possible. Would you mind if I dropped you an email at your address above?
This game made my heart flutter, the setting, the graphics, the sounds and the few dialogues are quite worked and moved me in the short duration of the game. Excellent job!
I dont know if its supposed to end at the mountain waterfall with a squirrel rushing to the right of the screen or I did something wrong either way such a great and emotional story <3
Played through twice on the ds lite on a flashcart and on the browser so I could experience the sound. Beautiful more art than game, I liked the music and sound effects also (when the cow mooed made me smile). Bittersweet made me cry (games are not meant to do that)

A fine piece of storytelling, I was expecting something straight to the point until the mid-point of the game. Included at 41:44

I sent you a message through your site. It's kind of tricky and you're going to need to roll up your sleeves with Javascript...
