Pretty nice story, but it would be more interesting if there will be more story lines or endings to extend replayability. Anyway, good game."},{"author_name":"Twinters","author_uid":"43963","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 11:30am","epoch":1440588300,"text":"Very original graphics. The music succeeds very well at setting the mood. Really great game, well done!"},{"author_name":"Mykaelos","author_uid":"39687","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 2:40am","epoch":1440729300,"text":"Excellent minimalistic style. It really set the mood of the story (along with the music). I really really really would have liked to see more endings (or maybe I missed them? I played through a few times). And this one also hit me in the feels: I have a 15 month-old daughter, so I definitely related to the "father being proud and supportive" perspective. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous, I hope I can make games with my daughter when she gets older too! Excellent game!"},{"author_name":"Vantaug","author_uid":"36104","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 2:49am","epoch":1440729840,"text":"Why can't I rate the audio, It was really good :\/"},{"author_name":"mubox","author_uid":"57193","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 12:33am","epoch":1440808080,"text":"Very good story. :)"},{"author_name":"Crowbeak","author_uid":"16689","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 7:02am","epoch":1440831420,"text":"Amazing job setting a mood.

The looping black and white images along with the music was quite effective for setting the mood, and the story was mysterious but a page turner (a gamestate tapper?).\r\rThis is pretty dang great.

I'm don't have any control. But between the music and the story, and how is telled there's something very interesting here that may become to a really nice game. Thanks!"},{"author_name":"OFF","author_uid":"39617","time":"Aug 29, 2015 @ 8:48pm","epoch":1440880980,"text":"Like many other interactive stories, you allow to real play a "monster" deeply.\rI'm impress by the use of the video, because they create a real mood and not a cheap realism.\rActually i think the end is maybe too explicit, and the game would have been better by speaking at the first person and not narrator. Also maybe allowing a bigger impression of control before the "end". Also i think that the font is maybe hard to read, and break the game feel.\rYou could take a look at "Monster" who is also an interactive story in the same kind of "story"\rThis feeling of playing a ghost is really powerful.\rNice entry, and really a different kind of interactive fiction."},{"author_name":"HotBoxGames","author_uid":"39707","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 12:58pm","epoch":1440939180,"text":"Very unique idea!
