Thank you for this, lost my dad and my best friend (7 & 4 years ago respectively), and I've never grieved so hard in the past ~3 years — it was therapeutic, it opened wounds I thought healed, memories I thought had vanished, and it resonated so well with all the memory distortions I struggle with. Would I be who I am today if they were both alive? I'll never know, but this was comforting in some way, thank you
English is not my mother language but still i really want to leave this comment as the game is just too beautiful and makes me cry.. I lost my father last year.. This game really hits me... the atmosphere the game creates is just sooo realistic,it's like you're still doing the same thing day to day, seems like nothing in your life changes, and everything just moving on.... But yet everything changes. You still have that kind of call back, although the memories are fading.... and you have no one to blame for. But just like the game said, one day we'll meet again, then you can kiss them again... I still think of him, the pain seems never fade, i still have his photo at my bedside, i clean the dust for it and talk to it.... I still dream of him, tell him again and again i love him... And yes, i'm always looking forward to the very end, when i can finally see him again.
Honestly I was just looking to see what kinds of games could be made with Bitsy, I wasn’t expecting to have my heart fully wrenched from its home in my chest. This is a positively beautiful story that deserves to be shared more
I'm new to interactive fiction and itchio. This is the first in-fic I came across and holy hell this was beautiful. It brought so many memories buried deep in my heart, and it's seriously inspiring.

Thank you so much Cecile Richard for this experience. I'm gonna say it, this is one of the best games I've ever played in my life.
