Man I want them to get tg but ik thatll never happen, it'd ruin it. But still, I want them to have a happy ending, even if his dead.
This is the only game I've given 5 stars this year I think. I loved the story, it almost made me cry. And I found the title change at the end of the game to be a nice touch.
One more thing. I live in a spanish-speaking country in South America, and English is my second language (But I know enough to understand a bunch of stuff, including your story). I can offer a latin american spanish translation to the story, free of charge if you want to.
Five stars, can't find words to express how good this is.
Oh my gosh my heart is crying. May this kind of love never find me...
precious story, i can't describe the feeling.. is something ambiguous. the only thing i can say is a great work, keep creating and keep transmitting <3
Nice short story and the art is so good.
I am interested in translating it into spanish. For free, I just want to get some experience.
Cheers!
literally crying while everyone else in my class is taking a math quiz :(((
I did not expect that like now I feel like I also need more time with this.
Im so miffed this isn't working on my mac :(
STOPP THIS IS MAKING ME CRY :(
A short banger story as usual
At first I thought its a metaphor of being trans, but it delves into another sort of tragic part of life, which is sad
Amazing visual as usual too!!!
Its true, this game is absolute cinema. Im so blessed to have experienced this story and will definetly be replaying it in the future.
Games like this makes me think of my reality (not that it is equal to the game but we can relate to it) and make me wake up for the present
Beautiful game
10/10 story
wow
stop can you make a scenario where she picked up the phon
Beautiful.
I'm lost for words, reading this was amazing and heartbreaking. I haven't read something so beautiful in a while. So, while making a video about it, I didn't talk through the video, I'll let the viewers read. It's something that can't be read out loud, it's a novel that needs to read to yourself.
Can't wait for more work you guys are planning on making next!Beautifully tragic.
Thank you for this.
I needed this game... thank you ;_;
Show post...
Art and sound design are top-notch; super cohesive vibe.
Man i..... T-T

i'm bawling....
Oh no! This can't be!
i enjoy this kind of stuff… not to mention the art is also amazing!

ABSOLUTE CINEMA!!!!! THIS WAS SO TRAGIC OMG T_T

Flower Studio is the best!!! Thanks!
Really well done! All the art is gorgeous, and I liked the writing style too.
I wish more people could communicate sooner when they are in danger

flower studio does it again, breaking your heart in less than ten minutes.
The way the title screen changes after you finish??? I’m always glad to get byte-sized games like this
Found this on the recently published section. Wow! Amazing art style, great story telling and putting it on a gameboy just made it even more heartfelt and eerie. Hope to see more.
