i'm genuinely crying after playing.thank you for this, it's a gorgeous and evocative little story. not so many people can make something so short that can make you feel so much. <3
oh, it's a glacier that left millions of years ago! no mountains, just a very Great Lake (in this case, Michigan, but I was born next to Erie and my grandmother lived just north on the shores of Ontario...so apparently this is my destiny in some weird way). but i will whisper a hello to what's left of it and maybe the mountains will hear. i miss them too! <3
usually with my synesthesia, it only makes me associate things with a taste as well as the main sense something would stimulate for anyone else (i.e. songs have a sound and a taste for me, other people only hear a sound)
only two things have stimulated all of my senses at once like this:
the love of my life, my boyfriend
and this game. thank you for this. i feel alive again. i can hear the faint music from the boardwalk and feel the warm water splashing against my legs. the sun, the sand. the taste of saltwater taffy - birthday cake flavored.
it all feels so wonderful
thank you for listening without having to hear a word. for speaking volumes with no mouth.

A very tight little poem of a game. Game as short story. I loved it.
My God, what a fairy game!
This music is great!

I feel like it's 200 years ago and I'm listening to this story at a campfire. It feels like a folktale.

Maybe I understand the story. It's beautiful, it makes me want to see the ocean.

i want to go visit the ocean too. maybe tomorrow i will visit one of its relatives in the footprint of a glacier, a long time ago.
