I don't know what it is, but something about this whole thing just feels... off. It's very deep and the music wonderful, like, gahd, I love this song, but... I don't know, somethin' 'bout it.
Not really, it just makes me feel... a little on edge, like something's about to happen. It's a very interesting story, don't get me wrong, I love this.
MESSAGE START: While traveling through the stars, I played this beautiful game that invoked so many emotions with very little. The music, the graphics, the narrative, all these things I will remember as long as my memory does not fail me. ...Thank you!. MESSAGE SENT FROM A FELLOW TRAVELLER ON THE LEFTFIELD
Found this via the Leftfield Collection at Pax Online/EGX Digital. A very beautiful work about memories and grieving. I really love the music. I absolutely love finding little games like this and I can't wait to check out more of your work!
This game was so beautiful; I would compare it to being in a music video or an immersive theatre experience. It reminded me so much of grieving my grandmother, that I shed a few tears. Thank you.
This has such a beautiful story... Maybe to show that these people are the main characters friends/family/lover or whatever we could have the main character as a different color next time? Idk if this was due to the jams rules or not but I think a blue color would of worked great (helps capture the emotion in the character).
the sprites were actually blue when i started making the game but i changed it because it didn’t stand out against the background. all the sprites are the same colour because that’s how Bitsy works! also this isn’t a jam game!
Oh cool. Also my bad i thought it was a jam game, I thought i read something for some reason. Would you mind if i used the memory decay idea for a game I am making. I'll be sure to credit you!
i was destroyed by this game. the way you used the repetition, the metaphor of regrowth, the everything??? this game is a gem. thank you so much for making this.
haha i dont know if i'd be able to pull off long form games in bitsy! but for a longer experience in bitsy, may i suggest the game Redlander https://sunspider.itch.io/redlander which is currently in development... it's very good and seeing sneak peeks to its development is an absolute delight!

off in a bad way?

I'm just weird, it's fine.
Absolutely incredible - thank you so much for making and sharing this :)
thanks so much claire! your tutorial is what helped me start making bitsy games all those years ago, so thank YOU for making that!
Loved it. I have been wanting to play something like this for a long time. I too am a visual person and it did a great job at amplifying the writing.
amazing, thank you for making this! still have to play though the second choice at the end; cant wait!
I, I can't describe this game in words.
Just play it to see for yourself.
10/10.
Holy... this legit got me tearing up
Well done
Wow...just...breathtaking. It truly made me feel. It was perfect.
Beautiful. Very moving and the way it goes full circle at the end was powerful. Art and soundtrack are on point. Well deserving of awards.
gosh, it is perfect
The music and everything is so beautiful it makes my heart ache
;-; it's perfect
Would you be able to make a downloadable version?
i could! is there an issue with the in-browser one?
i just like being able to actually have a game on my computer, and not just tied to the internet.
that's fair! just made a downloadable version available :)
it's really just a html page and the music file, but it should work fine in any browsers offline. let me know if you encounter any issues!
ummmm, you made me cry so hard
beautiful game, thank you :(
