Art is sooooo cute. And music is really soothing.
Great cozy/wholesome game vibe. (I wish the mechanic could be a little more complex). Really cute game.

Beautifully executed and touching! I liked trying to piece together the story from the artifacts in the room—the narrative is well written and parcelled out among the items. I did wonder if I was "winning" or, at least, what the consequence of making one choice over another might be. But it's got some really lovely vibes!

A fantastic game visually and does a really good job at adapting the theme. As well as a really somber game, I love the atmosphere! Great work!

Really gorgeous art! This is a small game, but that intimacy kind of suits it. It was nice to read all the prompts for each item, and having your character reminisce about each object after you pack them all up was a great touch. I felt that it could have used a more definitive "ending". Maybe one extra screen, showing a a moving truck and wrapping up the experience of the move/summarizing the theme of choosing which memories to bring with you with a little text blurb.

The art was really pretty and the music was a nice choice. I liked that all items had an associated sound and how the story of this person was told through them. I wish there was more to this game, the decisions on which items you keep currently make no difference at the end. I can totally see this expanded with more moves and branching narrative paths depending on which items you keep.

Thank you so much for the comments. We didn't get to make a more complex narrative design due to the implementation time it would take. We wanted to keep a game loop experience first.

Even so, we plan to add updates between today and tomorrow about some object interactions.

Thank you very much for trying our game!

So sad :( but it really tugged on my heart strings. my only gripe is that the music stopes and doesn't loop.

Beautiful, gentle game with a very effective wistful vibe. Only minor issue for me was the text scroll speed being too slow (I get that you don't want it to be too fast either though).

Such a gentle, soothing experience. I was surprised to find myself reflecting on the items I own in real life and my relationship with them. Very well done.

Lovely and very thoughtful! Only thing is I feel that having some sort of 'moving out' sequence at the end would bring a softer closure to the game.

Nice atmosphere, good art. Would have liked it if the music looped. Interesting narrative. I took the lamp, xylophone, photos, and cat plush.

Very cozy game with a great atmosphere. Some of the objects' stories were quite mysterious to me, but I suppose that was intended.

Super cozy, I loved it! The art is stunning, I wish there was more story but its also fun piecing the main character's life together from the short snippets.

Guys, thank you very much for the comments, especially for the audio as I was in charge of it. The story of the game touched me so much that I was able to immerse myself in a world of nostalgia and create the music easily. The art team really proved to be very talented as well.

Not to forget the programmers, without whom we wouldn't have anywhere to click!

Thank you very much for playing our game!!

The game has stunning visuals and a mesmerizing soundtrack. I believe adding more endings would make the game even better.
The only minor issue is that the text display speed is a bit slow, as it takes a while to see the complete content.
Looking forward to seeing more updates and expansions. Thank you for creating this amazing game.

Great atmosphere and mood! Your game was a great way to reflect on simular situation and choices in my life - so, thank you very much! :)

Nice! I was also planning on making a reverse-unpacking style game at first(plans changed) and this does almost exactly what I wanted to make.
The art is beautiful. Combined with the BGM it creates a really comfy vibe.
I don't really have any complaints. I think a more detailed moving out sequence would be great. Or if you want to expand it, you could have the same person's room in multiple stages of their life. Things the player chooses to bring will change their life stories and the next version of the room.
Overall a very solid entry.
