This is so fucking beautiful, wonderfully made. ;m; Thank you for making this.
this is super cool!!! i was pleasantly surprised to see cohost and then i was even more surprised at the accurate recreations of all the platforms, they were so neat to identify. wow. i love this <3
touching conversation and very good integration with a lot of attention to details
THIS IS AMAZING! i LOVE HOW EACH EXISTING SOCIAL MEDIA WAS BROUGHT UP THROUGH THE ui WHILE CREATING THIS MOVING CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO FRIENDS, ULTIMATELY REVERTING TO THE FIRST VERSIONS OF HUMAN SELF-EXPRESSION THROUGH WORDS CARVED IN STONE <3
I love this game extremely sweet in extremly uncool circumstances
this was lovely, thank you for making this! human communication shall always prevail!!!
really liked this, feels like a lot of the conversations i've been having with friends the past few years and the visual storytelling is great. thanks for sharing this!!
such a sweet play! Added it to my media reccomendations on my website: https://sanguineroyal.com/extra/mediareccs
This was very heartening... as much as things might suck when it comes to connecting with other people, we've always found ways to get through in the past and we'll continue to keep doing so. Thank you!
This was really nice, thanks for making it!
really lovely - thank you for making this :)
beautiful. so good!
this is so well done!! i love it
this is a great game! the concept was very well executed and a lot of fun to play! If you DON'T MIND ME ASKING, WHAT DOES THE writing near the end say?
thank you!
unfortunately i couldn't find any simple or reliable translation—so the cuneiform at the end is mostly decorative 👍🏻 it's up to your interpretation for what they're saying!
Holy crap, this game is great for people who are worried about the “enshittification” of communication in the internet. I enjoyed the different UIs used to explore how perennial this problem is.
This is such a lovely title!
