This is amazing :) I love the atmosphere and the story was really weird but also really good! I actually like that there's not much of a puzzle to the game and that you just have to explore a lot. I do love doing puzzles, but exploring is always my favorite part of these games anyways :) I've played games with pixel-y art but the style of this was very different from any games I've played before and I thought that was really neat :)
I really enjoyed playing this game! It certainly had the creep factor, and it was fun trying to figure out how to progress. I loved the art style and the realistic atmosphere. I felt very anxious while playing this game, and that is something that is difficult to achieve with me. Excellent job!
Great game, full of surprise. I don't wanna have a date in the park after this :)
I'm not gonna lie, the puzzles in this game are not even puzzles. You just wander aimlessly until something happens or the game tells you what you need to do. Even the pump was just "click something and see if it works", without any instruction.
But the style and dialogues were so pretty. I loved the retro pixelated style, and you even got that slightly-4th-wall-ish effect to the dialogues of the main character that was so great back in the days. But still... wtf happened? The story doesn't really make much sense, nor does it work well. So pros for the style, but this games lacks a lot for me.
Great story and what a lovely ending ;) http://youtu.be/ovTvKqEDzi0

A surreal and creepy little adventure game.
You are Lou. You've recently moved to Lisbon, in Portugal, to take up a new job and start a new life. Within days of arriving, you meet an enchanting woman, Catarina, at a bar on a night out. After a few hours of getting along swimmingly, you agree to meet her the next day in her favourite park.
You arrive at the stunning park on a beautiful sunny day, with high hopes. Lou soon finds the atmosphere is a little off... it's not going to be an average date.
