Now i miss her, she is still whit me, but i can only see her some times and this ship is bery hard to control. I´m a bad driver, i can crash if the way is too much for me, i can lose her if i cant continue and is so hard to continue, i can lose all. I don´t want to crash, i don´t want to lose, but is so dark out there and i can´t see the future, i´m afraid to look and realise she is not there anymore.
god damn it I love this elegy, I cry whenever I play it though because it's so beautiful, damn I don't even know what to say lmao I'm teary eyed and I can't find the words but this little elegy is really the best
This was so lovely and lonely. Doing the same thing over and over, in contact with no one, totally alone... I loved the text in the greenhouse and its timing. I wrote a short story years ago with a similar delivery (short, factual phrases to give the impression of mindless, solitary routine) with a similar theme, so that was quite pleasing to me personally.
I really liked how the cosmonaut was the only bit of color besides the friends and coffee, and how the person they were writing to was never really singled out (that it could have been any one of those friends in the cafe or by the tram). I think it adds to the lonely feeling and the fading memories in a natural and satisfying way. I loved that the player had to control the tram, to make it pull up and then leave after. I'm not sure how to phrase it, but in my brain it fits very nicely in the tragic tone.
The visuals are so beautiful! I love 1bit art, and the additional accent color was so perfect. Everything about this little game is fantastic.
This was an absolutely tragic and delightful and lovely experience. The visual style was so striking. The visuallization of the erosion of memories was so powerful an poignant and hauntingly accurate, this is definitely a grand work.
this made me a little teary eyed, for a game with such a simple art style and so short.. if it was any longer i might have actually cried, the music is absolutely amazing, thank you <3
recently i moved out of the city where i grew up, i left everything and everyone behind. my friends, my family, the places i visited often that had become part of me. now i finished my first semester in my new career, and i came back for a while. everything is so beautiful here, and the best part is, that even though i left them behind, everyone (and everything) is still where it was when i left. i can hug my mother, my brother, my friend Noemí who lives across the street, my friends from college, my ex-coleagues from when i used to work at bk. i can say hi, i love you, to all of them. i can write them letters. i can sing them songs. they are still here, and i am far and i am closer than ever. thanks for this game and for putting these thoughts in my head. i teared up and got inspired to express my own stories in little games like this, i hope you have a wonderful day, cheers from Chile :)
I took a psychology class a while back at my local community college, where I learned that every time a memory is recalled, it gets changed in some little way. I thought about that class again, while playing this.
This was such a good story. I loved it so much, and now it has made a home in the back of my mind where it will constantly scratch at the floorboards and remind me of its presence.
was replaying this for the first time in a long time. i was on itch to redo a cover of a game and i just decided to look at this again for inspiration for other games i could make during my time at the summer camp im currently working at and i'm crying once again. what an incredible thing you've created. one of my favorite games ever

This hit me harder than I thought.
Love this. Beautiful writing and sentiment. The mixture of Bitsy walk about areas and the more bespoke illustrations really elevates it.
beautiful
deceptively simple and yet so very effective, like all good poetry in game form
beautiful
great game

END OF THE MENSSAGE
this destroyed me
this reminded me of the employee by olga ravn in a very weird and good sort of way.
this brought me to tears
