Even though I was having a hard day and this is kind of a sad game, it cheered me up a lot. Thanks! Great game!
que jogo bom amei melhor jogo de todos perfect
Jogo INCRÍVEL! Meus parabéns!!
I actually REALLY love the style, aura and feel of this game. It gives off a chilled out sad vibe with a hint of creepiness while still keeping a positive tone. I loved it so much, my only complaint is that there's not enough game! I know its been 4 years since you made this game but I would pay and play a larger expanded version of this title. You really inspired me to try out game creation, thank you so much. 8/10
Amazing!! <3
