The game does have an abrupt end, but given that this is a student project, it is a very beautiful piece! Graphics are stylized in a watercolor-esque appearance, similar to Zelda Skyward Sword I would say. The lore and setting are presented in a captivating way, and the writing is nice (though with some misspellings). Takes only about an hour or so, definitely recommend playing through!

It's a artsy game that is incredibly well-made. The art is brilliant, and I really liked the look of this game. However the problem with this game is the motion blur. I tried to push myself with it but it made me motion sick. If this game ever gets a patch , I'd be more than happy to play again if they implement a feature in options where the motion blur can be turned off. Sad i can't play the game but i can art style and music even from the short 9 minutes of playtime that i played. Shame its seems to have been abandoned.

Damn I was captivated by the beauty of art style and the story that's been developing and it ended abruptly and unexpectedly. Pretty much expected from student project I guess. If I were them, I would continue and finish the story and sell the full game. Great work and good luck in your carreers! My only distaste was it was done on DX11 but it is not developers' fault, it is trash Unity Engine problem not supporting DX12 and Vulkan properly STILL at this day and age. Had to use DXVK to translate those utter trash DX11 API calls to Vulkan and enjoyed the game in better conditions.

The quality of this game far exceeds its price value (free) and is one of the most stunning games I have played to date. The world, characters, music, lore, and scenes are all enchanting in ways that I haven't see an equal. I would love to see the people who made this make a second part or even a full version of this game. It doesn't take long to finish, I needed to pause to do something but you can complete this game in 30 minutes to an hour. If these students are the future of gaming, I am intrigued to see what they can release after they have their degree/certification!

Great tech demo of a game I would love to see them some day finish. Which I assume will never happen. Loved exploring the little town and get some autumn vibes. Even if the game will leave you as sudden as it appears.

This game has a such a big potential but it's so short. I did not know it was a student project until the end.

Graphics are stunning, play is fun, and story is exciting. Only thing wrong with this game is that it isn't long enough I wanted to keep playing.
