Is it supposed to go grey when you hear that sort of alarming ringing? I'm jumping platforms, "she and i were fine with the distance" or whatever, and then it's all grey and the bells sounds like it's coming from a particular direction, but I can't find the source.

I think everyone is agreed that the biggest heartbreak is listening to her cries as you leave her behind... GAH!!! Chills.

this game just wow.. my first playthrough the gate closed on me because, by the time I figured out you need to let her go, it was too late.. I thought it was a joke at first, but this game just really captured something special, and I really loved it.

What does it say about me that I know what I need to do, but I keep trying to make a jump and just can't do it? (It's the one in the second, spiralling platform area after the intro-- but not the one with the almost hidden, hard to see, tiny platform in between-- the one with a tilted surface to jump from and a large flat one that almost looks like it's rising from the ground to land on. I seemed to land on it once just now but then fell off while trying to see where the heck the ground went.) I have no doubt she'll be waiting above if I ever make it, since the bell noise is coming from all directions right now. Am I missing something? Why can't I make that jump??? o_O; (*Goes back to try again...*)

I got to the first part that required jumping, found it very frustrating, gave up. I sent it to a friend, they stopped at the same point. If I could give one piece of advice for a revision; make the platforming section more streamlined or more obvious at least to start with. I literally couldn't figure out which one I should jump on next/how to proceed. I was playing for maybe 3 minutes at that point, not very invested yet; so it was easy to get annoyed. I know you aren't trying to make a 'fun' game but I've been gaming all my life and couldn't find the next platform. I hate to say something like 'i couldn't figure it out so it sucks,' but I feel as though if I found it unclear, someone who is balls deep in the language of video games, then a fair percentage will also find it unclear. You want players to get your message, hold their hand for a bit for a bit, just as you held hers. I don't think a bit of streamlining will undermine your message, but then again I haven't beaten it.
Thanks for the candid and constructive crit - I've streamlined that section a bit, adding lighting and removing a very specific platform that kept tripping some people up. If you could try it again and PM me your new impressions I'd deeply appreciate it! You might need to clear your browser's cache to play the just uploaded version, just fyi.

Wow, at first I didn't get it, I played it one before, but also got stuck. Seriously this game even for a 15 minute "flash" game, it has made me feel emotions long gone, almost as if I were having emotions from a child-hood memory, but as I am an adult, it was a great feeling. I absolutely loved this game. Definitely going to play again with headphones.

but that ending though, went into your heart. I really don't know how to explain it, I mean you just get a flow of emotions and you just feel so hopeful when you go up those platforms...then you see her leaving you...genuinely my heart just sank at the end...I just had my hopes up so high and thought see would be waiting there for me
overall 5/5
Hit that + button if you agree

The game is a beautiful and yet very sad. Over all, not much games really
touch the sad part of your soul. Other than that 5/5 :D

This was extremely powerful. This reminded me of my friends relationship with this one girl-- the captions definitely made me tear a bit. I like how you can see the chapel at the start, but you fall down sort of like a timeline giving off what happened before that and you're reminiscing what it was before. And what it came to be now. This managed to make me cry, 5/5

Okay. First of all. I only played the first few doors of the game, but with those few doors... My God.
In summary: Utter inspiration, and calm music. Fricking amazing combo. I'm going to attempt to play more later. By the first impressions, I will surely love it.

This game is so simple yet able to convey this beautiful massage. It's more than a game, the emotions that is generated is unbelievable.

If you wait long enough the music stops to restart and all you hear is just the ringing of a bell. Not urgent, but also not lazy. like it wants you to come to it and you want too, but you know you shouldn't. its an amazing way to put another perspective of the story into the game.

I was hooked and pulled into this game right from the opening music as soon as the game loads. I had a few tabs open on Firefox and was multitasking... until this pulled my attention in 100%. Awesome game, I love these simplistic, atmospheric, philosophical "games"... if you can even call them games, that is

I played this game a while back, and I decided to play it again for the hell of it, and suddenly... it became very personal to me. I just got out of a relationship with a senior and one of the reasons it happened was because she's going to college an hour and a half away from where I live and... long distance relationships. And although in my situation I'm the more bent toward that "I want to stay with you" mentality moreover the doubtfully apathetic one in this scenario, I had no idea it would ever really hit home that much for me; I always just saw it as a game that delivered a very powerful narrative through relevant mechanics and a very sympathetic story (I'm guessing this has happened to the author). I don't know if it sounds less legitimate because I'm just a high schooler, but... now it gets me on a totally different level. Wonderful job. I'd love to see more. 5/5
