This game is overwhelmingly sad, I highly recommend for anyone who similarly appreciated any of the freebird games (To The Moon). Play without knowing anything about the story and appreciate this heartfelt tale.
I thought I already wrote down a review before but oops hehe I love this game so much that I also gifted it to one of my friends! I will never ever forget the feeling I had going through the story. This really is a special game to me. Thank you, Laura!
I really loved this game, it was very emotionally rich and the characters are really well and thoughfully written. I definitly recommed <3
