really enjoyed the game throughout it's entirety, nice message and story with great visuals and soundtrack. quotes from grief were real asf too

Made a video

Short and sweet. So many things to like about this game. Once you start playing you can't stop till you reach the end. It felt good to play and I think that's one of the most important things a game should have. Solid work y'all.

Thoughts:

The controls feel solid and smooth

The art is cute

Why does the angel feel androgenous?

Very straight forward message

Interesting dialogue and story

It wraps up so nicely

The angel powerup lasts a satisfying amount of time

Great job Skyler and co!

Bugs or Features?:

You can interact with the bed and boxes at the same time if you stand in the middle of both of them at the start.

You can stick pencils in the angel

Enemies get stuck on walls
