i really like this!! I won't spoiler it for newcomers, but the twist was really good!!!! The game was short and sweet (more like bitter sweet lol...) and i really liked the metaphors for parents who would rather try to shape their kid into something they want. Rather than actually having a relationship with them. i love this!!!!!!!
Joking aside, if this is the trajectory AI development is taking, it is crucial that we reassess and halt its progress immediately. The potential risks and unintended consequences could have far-reaching implications, and it is our responsibility to ensure that AI advancements are aligned with ethical standards and societal well-being.
Haha, you caught me! That’s exactly the point. I guess I’ve been influenced by the very AI I’m warning about! Who knows, maybe next I’ll be asking you to rate my ethical concerns on a scale from 1 to “send help.”
Wow. Just wow. It's an amazing game, working like an interactive story, and having some of the best storytelling I have seen in a very long time. I also loved the pixel art aspect of the game. Really added some aesthetic!
I really like the story,even though it's a bit complicated to directly understand.
I think the characters are well written and that it could represent how things could be in the future with the love ones being replace by android.
I like how Ash's story affected the dective into pratically doing the same thing that he did but with the android that replaced her dead/dying son (I think he is dead but I'm not sure).
Hey! This was really cool, I love the use of GB as a storytelling medium.
I will be following your studio, and would love to see works from ya’ll that include player agency (I know that isn’t what you were going for with this kinetic novel, but I think this style would work fantastically with some more interaction).
I was a bit weirded out by everyone just having guns - is that part of the sci-fi element, or reflective of the culture where ya’ll are from?
wow…the plotline of this story was very deep and heart breaking. i love the pixel art style and the transitions (which made it more eerie). u def deserve more recognition

free my man ash
Can some one e explain to me what happened in the story
Not really but I think the mom realised that her son who died didnt need to be replaced, so she shot the android to stop the pain or smth, idk
Holy god, so much emotional impact in such a short story. Very well done!
As a trans man AND a kid who grew up deathly ill with a controlling mom, I relate hard to both parts of the story D: Damn. Just damn.
AS A TRANS PERSON THIS IS AN AMAZING GAME
Wonderful. Absolutely destroyed me. Felt like a punch in the gut
Nice game!
punched me in my unexpecting family ass face

Ironically, your comment reads as if it was written by ChatGPT.

this vn is short yet super effective, and the presentation makes it even better
even though i don't understand the story all too much, the gameboy art style or game genre on here is my favorite. :>
i need more of this
That was interesting
God this is horrifying
as a trans man myself i love this piece of art, i will forever remember it.
that was beautiful, really showed us humanity's twisted fate, and how we try to escape it
Que interesante😀
Very interesting story and style!
That was wonderful
I love this so much. Incredibly impactful speculative sci-fi in a 10 minute long package. I aspire to make art this good lol <3
i hardly ever cry but this made me tear up a little :(
WOW
I've stumbled upon this completely randomly and I loved it
This destroyed me in its 10 minute runtime, well done devs

A DIFFERENT ME
i love this to death oh my god, the way this is structured is so effective. also an impressive take on a pre-existing sci-fi trope.
Gorgeous and powerful. Very very nice work!
Really cool to see GBstudio used in a VN format and really loved the story...well done!
Finally played the rest, short but still felt uncomfortable as definitely feels like a plausible thing for our parents to do that.
Really gorgeous portraits and figures. Thanks for sharing!
This game seems so cool but I literally cannot find out how to start it TvT
