AHHHHHHHHHHH ;-; I get it... I freaked out when I realized that I had to let go to make it through the gate... then when I was jumping across the sea of pillars it said "her avoiding eyes" and I realized I was looking down at the pillars instead of ahead so that I wouldn't fall... D":

...unfortunately I can't see the point. Most of the game I was rather frustrating. There is no reason why you should have to "find" the person you're leading! Maybe there is a point, but sure as heck don't see it. One out of five.

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...*)

The game would be a great experience if the whole level I'm going to deem "distance" was better crafted, I've gotten right up to her before and couldn't get so much as a little bit of the dots to start connecting, it isn't an experience it's just plain frustrating.

This game is one of the most compelling games I have ever played, experiencing what it is like to be in a love life first of all but one where you must let the other person go for a while but then come back to them. That slapped round the face towards the end

The depth of the tragedy in letting go. The feeling of regret. The bravado you can feel right through. The heartbreak after the gate slams down, separating the two. The lovers that should have been, but alas never were. For the boy was too scared to let himself fall in love, and hang on to the one for dear life. Such beauty, such tragedy, and a story that altogether rips the heartstrings out.

First time I didn't realize that I had to let go, I made a ran for it but the door *JUST* closed in front of me, leaving me trapped with someone I didn't love

I'm only on level one and I love this game... it's so... sad... just by the music I can tell there will be a sad ending...(and the other comments I read) ;P.If I had to make a REAL choice, I wouldn't let go. I would've just stayed no matter what. The game has a very simple look to it, but has a deeper meaning (hence the first text that read: "This is not a love story.")
This game is truly beautiful and fun to play. I highly recommend to anyone who's interested. ;) Although be warned, this game may make you cry... LOTS. 5 out of 5 stars.

I found the third part where everything's gray to be very frustrating. Until I realized I had my headphones on backward. *facepalm*

-_- Got to the room with floating platforms and spent five minutes trying to figure out what to do. 1/5 I low rate any game that I simply can't even figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

I let go, I caved in to the nagging doubts--but it was too late, I held on for too long and the door closed. I found myself stuck with no one to keep me company; Tears formed, and I asked myself, "Why, oh why did I let go?" Thank god for a second chance, but letting go was one of the hardest things I've done in a game. Doing so made me so heavy, I literally felt a weight as I climbed those final steps. Each one grew harder and harder to climb as I worried what would be at the top. I found myself looking around for any other path than that one, because I knew. I knew...I couldn't handle it. That sinking feeling was represented beautifully in the end. Love lost is the best inspiration for any kind of work, and it came through for you here.

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

I didn't understand what he meant when he said that that didn't happen. i tried to make it across with her, but i couldn't do it. i felt horrible when i heard her cries as i walked away. i love games kinda like these such as grey, alphaland, the company of myself, fixation, the i saw her standing there series, experimental shooter 2, and the majesty of colors. i love the philosophical games like these, and i cant get enough. 5/5 i love it
