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

Wow! This game is simply outstanding, the way it mix the story and gameplay is amazing. I can feel related to the story and it makes the experiencien a lot of more deeper.
Amazing work, this is the new level of videogames as a way to communicate stories and feelings.

When I finally understood that I had to leave her behind and heard that bell...faster that usual...like screaming and asking me "why?!" I simply cried. This is exceptionally beatiful and charming.

I feel like the maker made this game for someone he loved but had to let go of. Really touched me and made me think about life and how relationships work. Thanks man, this is truly a piece of art.

Really nice game. Only problem is I'm getting pissed because I cant get past the grey screen when you can still hear the bell ringing. Can anyone help me?
