Absolutely loved this entry! The prose was amazing and the story flowed so well. The sprite and background art were awesome and I loved the little details with the stained glass at the end!
Thank you for the lovely comment! We're really happy that you liked it!
As short as it is, it is such a beautiful game of deep thoughts and reflection. The art is quite pretty and the way the words flowed like falling snow is incredibly well done! The change of cards at the end is a nice touch too to indicate the changing effect of the answer.
Overall great work!! Lovely game ^^
Awww thank you so much!! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :D
Aww this was a really sweet little reflection, I like it! I can relate, sometimes around this time of you you need to get away... But this was really nice, almost stumbling into the living room of Ms. Winter...
Really enjoyed the little stained glass ending cards, depending on the answer you gave!
Thank you! Your comment made us really happy! The need to get away and reflect is really strong in winters...
