I think this game has a lot more emotional meaning to it.

"you can't be anything different"

youch.

"Then I grew up" Ouch... Such much emotional pain TwT

Games where the main character is a cat are always the best. This game was cute! And it made me feel things that I can't really put into words ;w;

I just did speedrun for this.

"if you can run in a game you usally have to run from something" yub person guy

beautiful, I must say I didn't completely understand the plot, but it seemed really lovely and I don't think it really mattered that I didn't. Loved the ducks and the rhymes, they were my favorite part!
