This was very sweet, and the first half was legit really tense! Nice work!
Aaaa thank you so much for playing and the kind words!! I'm very happy to hear that the tension came across, but still left a lingering sweet impression 💖
This was a lovely short story. You expressed a lot of emotion in very few words!
Crit!! Thank you so much for playing my lil' game and for your kind words!! I worked hard to compress a lot of feeling into the story; I'm grateful to know you think it worked well!
Ahh, I waited a while to play because I felt I had to set aside time, not realising it was fairly short 😅
Quite touching, both sad and sweet! Neat set of limitations for a jam used well, clever to have one half just have no illustration at all to get more out of it.
Nice song in the background and of course very nice writing. I was really feeling the tension and terrible realisation in the first part and the warmth and fragrances of that little shop! 💜 Wishing all the best for Gil!!
Oh, thank you so very much for taking the time to write such a wonderful comment buddy!! I'm glad you enjoyed the short experience & thought the limitations for the game jam were used well! It took some thought to figure out how to best fit the story I wanted to tell in such a small format, and to know you think it came out well makes me very happy!
I'm grateful that you could feel the both the tension of the beginning and the warmth of Gil's shop 💜 I always want to share rays of hope in my works! I look forward to including Gil in future stories!!
