This game hit particularly hard for me because I lost my dog Arlo, who was also my one true friend, in the same way Meowmie was lost. The animal, the red paw prints, chasing me in the game felt symbolic and all to real to the actual monster in my real life story who changed my life forever that day. At first I thought that having to traverse through monsters just to get food or medicine was a commentary on growing up in a household where the duties of the pet fall on your (the kid's) shoulders, and the adults don't do anything to help like they should, so it feels hopeless when you're a kid and your pet gets sick. I thought it could be interpreted that way as well, and I heavily relate to that experience, though I see the whole picture now that I've finished the game. I don't usually get emotional at games, so this was surprising, but it was just too similar to my real life story.
As for the game itself, the art and music are lovely and the tension and atmosphere are very well done. Not overdone, but pretty spooky. Very good.
This is amazing! This game is so small, yet I've almost cried at the end. The death of a pet is sometimes so hurtful. On some occasions, it could hurt as badly as the death of a family member. For me, I had a similar experience, my favourite pet I ever had, died 4 years ago, and I was the one who discovered it. It was traumatic, I got real nightmares of this day
I played it a long time ago, but recently my cat died, and now I realized how much the character looks like me and the cat looks like mine, in terms of appearance. this game really made me cry
Will there be a means of downloading this game in the future? With the new wave of online censorship potentially making its way to the US, I would hate to see this game be flagged and removed. It is such a wonderful little experience.
I SWEAR TO GOD IF THE DEVELOPERS DON'T MAKE A GOOD ENDING IMMA END UP ON THE NEWS (JK I love the game but it made me cry so much bc I have had 2 cats that died and another that ran away😭)
Dude. This game is absolutely HARROWING. For such a simple game, you did absolutely outstanding with the storytelling. Keep on makin' stuff, we're all here for it. Smart setup by the way, with the dark halls and the feeling of isolation ;) The sprites are so incredibly cute, and the music goes very well with it.
