Fuck man, this hit me right where I needed it. So much of this is exactly how I thought or think of high school. I really appreciate this game existing.
Every once in a while I discover a bitsy game that reminds me how amazing this tool can be.
Not only was the art spectacular, the story spoke deeply to me! It's beautifully told, with a great sense of presentation and impacting scenes. Loved it!
I have been struggling with a lot of guilt recently, this game made me sob but also feel less alone. I think I found this game exactly when I needed it, thank you.
This is a really lovely game, both in art and story. I want to say it reminds me of Night In The Woods (another lovely game), especially the very beginning and the very end.
thank you so much for making this game. it really depicts what it's like entering your adulthood with still fresh wounds of your school life. i needed that <33
Hey, I want to say that I love your game. I needed it somehow. I thought I was going to play a fun little game, that's it. I did not know that I was going to relate to it in many ways. So thank you, and keep up the good work!
A video game has never made me cry. I was on here looking at games because I want to make one and I wanted to see if bitsy could support what I had in mind. I clicked on this one to see if it was a similar as I thought it'd be to what I had in mind. I played through the entire thing despite the fact that I have horrible ADHD and cannot focus on anything, and I sobbed. I'm young, 16, and I never went to school. I was homeschooled, and for years I longed to go, to have memories away from my home, to have friends, to have somewhere I can go that isn't fictional. Recently my life has been changing a lot. My long-distance boyfriend proposed to me, and I plan on leaving my home when I turn 18. I found out I have autism, ADHD and severe clinical depression and that my household is abusive. It's been a rough year for me. the voice near the end, it felt like giving up; something I've been wanting to do for so long now. This game was something I clicked on out of boredom and I don't think I'm ever going to emotionally recover from it. Thank you.
this was really amazing to play, thank you for making it. I graduated high school 15 years ago (yeeeeesh) and still feel like this sometimes. it really resonated with me.
thank you for this game so much!! as a teen, weeks away from graduating from high school, this topic has been a tough one for me lately, and this really made me think about some stuff in a new light :,)
for anyone reading the comments without having played the game yet, please do. you won't regret it
I'm literally crying. It was something i needed. The main character is so.... me. I always look back and can't ignore my memories. And his stories are similar to mine.
I want to say Thank You to someone who made this game. I am touched and i'm a little bit healed by that game and by knowing that there are people who feel the same.
I absolutely loved this- as a teen myself it is a nice reminder that just bc i dont go to parties and drink or smoke that it doesnt mean im missing out on some crazy important experience, and as someone who has done a lot of shitty things, it is also nice to think about how I am the kind of person I am today because I have changed and developed due to those actions and experiences. Awesome game.
Thank you for this game! A lot of it was relatable and somehow I feel healed from the eye part. I guess because I was reading it aloud, it was like self affirmations. It made me feel so much better about my past. I want to forgive myself too.
as a tumblr user and a high school student worried about not doing enough, i related to this. it made me feel Emotions. this game is art. the tag "poem" accurately fits. please play this if you get the chance.
Amazing game, with true "directing" skills. I love your narrative design and can't wait to share your work with my students. Many thanks for this gem !
