indie game devs + indie bands= YES DUDE! this was a fantastic play, the usage of the guitar as audio was so creative and really went with the theme of a downward spiral and panic attacks. This game was so wholesome, and you know i am def gonna check out this band. Cheers, and thank you for the bootiful game! your work has never disappointed me so far, so dont screw up/j
I felt terrible the day I found this game, but I felt better after passing it. Cecile, thank you so much for the game and for introducing me to Cable Ties! Love them.
I do get all in my head sometimes, when it would really make more sense to call someone and talk. I haven't really cultivated those kinds of relationships though.
I love the idea of bringing game devs and musicians together to jointly promote one another. I'm all for that and would love to see more of it!
HOPE is a simple game that deals with complex issues, and it does it in such a succinct, fun and yet fabulously hard-hitting way. Depression and anxiety are issues that so many people deal with on a regular basis, and any game that helps spread awareness of how that feels, and also the best way to help, is a winner in my book!
So play this. Enjoy the great music (maybe check the band out too). Lean back. Take a breath. Think about whether anyone you know might need a helping hand with something. Or whether you're the one that needs a helping hand.
Honestly, games like this uplift me so much and fill me with... funnily enough... hope. Great stuff, really enjoyed it, hopefully many other people come across this and feel the same way!
I really loved this game. It spoke to me very personally. It almost felt like i was the character. I cried during the panick attack scene. It was really well done, good and simple design with a short and beautiful story. I also love the message in the end. Thanks for giving some hope !
So sweet and evocative! The music didn't play for me but it might be something to do with my settings. I love how much you were able to do in bitsy, and the retro look! The panic attack was so relatable, great job of evoking those feelings while keeping the game still hopeful overall.
Beautiful game and I´m so proud that exist game devs like you that really cares about convey true emotions through videogames!. Playing this really made my day :)
