Ah, this is gorgeous <3 I have a lot of mixed-up resonance with ocean imagery, but this was an absolute delight to play--very emotional, and so, so beautiful.
This really makes my heart warm <3 it really touched me and its beautiful to see that this game its gonna touch others people's heart. You are amazing!
Novena is a very beautiful, little story about friendship.
The music and the story are very evokative. Even the visuals are beautifully created, as it is hard to distinguish anything from its ZX Spectrum-style graphics and much is left to the imagination. At points when the environment has degraded, it becomes impossible to make out anything at all and you feel unsettled because of it.
oohhHHH GOD i am actually crying. WOW. That was phenomenal. like a kids story. ugh the art the music the dialogue the colors the EVERYTHING were amazing. i love it <3
I love bitsy games like this. the visuals are simple and let the player do a little imagination on what they're seeing, and it makes them focus on the story more. this was very emotional to play, but it ended on such a wonderful note.
You have changed my perception in a way I can't explain.
The story-telling, the music, the art, they all lingered in harmony for your acceptance. It was poetic in a way even the most beautiful of words would only fail to describe and for that I thank you.
You have constructed a story that your mind dared to embark on and we all admire to witness the fantastic results. Thank you so much.
This is probably one of the prettiest games I've ever sat through in a while. The music and scenery were utterly breathtaking, and the story was really powerful and moving.
This was short but incredibly powerful! One of the finest narrative story-driven games I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
As the days wore on, I felt myself connecting more and more with the words, and by the time I got to the end I was overwhelmed. Amazing what can be achieved in 15 minutes!
Keep up the amazing work, this really was something special! =)
The game is so beautiful... it reminds me of glitch, of which I only have a vague memory anymore, but I remember the quests you went on to help the deities or something like that.... I think it's truly a wonderful game :***
oh WOW i was a BIG FAN of glitch back when it was around! i had such a good time and i miss it every now and then. i can totally see how this is reminiscent of that game! thank you so much fellow glitchen!
This is the sweetest thing I've experienced in a long time. It has left me feeling some really unique emotions that I'm glad to be feeling.
I ended up here after looking into Bitsy and what it can do. After seeing this my heart swells with hope and my brain fills with ideas for storytelling . Great work!

P.S. You chose an excellent song. Arête is one of my new favorite songs now.

Nice little game. I wish some of my questions were answered in the ending but they were not.
A wonderful work of art!
