It is simply amazing how something like this doesn't need words to tell a story. It leaves things up for you to interpret, and that is beautiful.

They always met on that hill and that is where he gave her the gifts.The last gift he gave her before he died was a yellow flower,as demostrated by it being in front of the grave,he gave it to her, the last sign of love he ever gave her.After he died,her world became gray and she brought the gifts he gave her to the same place they met.She went through them, bringing color back to her grey world.The boy in the game fading is a way to symbolize the sadness fading.The dove landing by the girl symbolizes the peace that is being made inside her.When all the color has been brought back to her world,the boy fading away symbolizes she has learn to accept his death and move on. (It wouldnt let me put this in one comment)

Based on LittleHat and deathkknight's explanation I believe the game is about a little boy as he grows old.You start at a certain location and the girl is looking in the direction of the grave.The red balloon,pink ribbon,purple lolllipop, and the brown teddy bear is what the boy gave her as a young boy,his love being kiddish.As he grew older he wanted to show his love so he went hunting for a green 4 leaf clover to give her.When he grew up to an adult he gave her a blue bead necklace.

this is how what I feel my mom is doing to me. I am the girl in the story, and she is the boy, I lost her almost 4 months ago. :( she brings color to my gray, dark world, nice explination LittleHat

Here's how I see it. A boy does everything for girl, but the girl does not notice, so as he brings her more of himself, he fades away in her eyes.

i don't think the boy is dead, i think she is bored and depressed with the colorless world so he brings color to her, but he is black and white in a more and more color world, so he begins to fade, then as she is finally interested in the world again he fades from the now colored world

I realized he grows more 'see through' with every object you turn in, and the yellow flower is by a grave, you can put two and two together and figure out that LittleHat's explanation is almost spot on.

This game is so sad, it deserves an award, it also deserves it's own catagory, I also think it should have something to kind of explain the meaning of each object for those who do not know.

THIS GAME IS SO BEAUTIFUL! *clears throat* Excuse my shout, but this game is one of my favorites, not on kong or in the art tab, but in the history of my gaming. Please, make more games like this beauty.

This game is so touching, It made me cry a little near the end. It also makes me think about the girl I love, of what might happen if me or even her died. A game like deserves a reward.

I just got a blank screen with an Armor Games logo. I understand that you programmed gameplay, but if I can't actually play it, it's pointless. 1/5

It could also be a story about not taking life for granted in that the boy continues to give the girl gifts but she continues to ignore him, as she has no reaction to the boy or his gifts until he hands her the last one. As emphasized by the tombstone by the yellow flower, it is too late. He is already gone.

Would if the girl of his dreams is actually his daughter and he is building the life around her, as parents do, and eventually she has to accept that he wont always be there? Because she appears just as lively at the end as at the beginning even as he is fading.

Nice graphics/music and easy game play. I'm not a fan of these games with a "message," but you didn't beat me over the head with it, so nice job.

So how to put this is simple; The short story of a girl and the boy of his dreams... pretty much swapped. I like your thinking there, kevindoesart!

Another take on this is that you strive for the girl's attention at the beginning so you use all your time to get her what she wants, to make her life better. As you gather more items you help her see more beautiful things in life but your initial slow and cheerful stride, becomes fast, rushed. You as a player, may see the world in beauty but never stop to appreciate it, you have to strive to gather the attention of the girl. You go faster and faster, and you realize that you're fading away, that you're losing yourself and lose a grip on who you are quite literally. By the end you've helped the girl blossom, but at the price of your own livelihood, as you fade away from her existence. The moral from this perspective being, yes you can make a girl the happiest in the world, but you may lose yourself in the process. And if you're not around to appreciate the world and be happy too, you have to really ask yourself if it was worth it?

This game is amazing. I'm sure LittleHat and deathkknight wrapped it up pretty well. This game makes you realize how valuable life really is. It's beautiful, and the whole time I played it and was slowly realizing what was going on. I almost cried. Amazing. 5/5.

I consider this to be about a boy who fell in love with a very sad girl. He himself was sad, and saw the world as a sad, grey place. As he tried to make her happy with gifts, the love in him grew, giving color to the world. In the end he dies, but she remembers him lovingly, and she believes his soul to be free, and at peace, hence the dove.
