This was made as my first Bitsy game using an idea I've had in my head for a while. An experience where you go through people's lives, in a walk & reflect way.
Let me know what you think of the game and what you're thinking in general from it! I'd love to hear, very much.

I am absolutely amazed by how deep and philosophical this got.
At first I though this would be sth about judging/rating the lives of other people (thx to the dice-numbers/audience at the end of each life), but this just got... so much deeper. I really love everything about this game- your track gave me goosebumps (really fitting this somber vibe), the art was simple and yet very effective in how it expressed the story and your writing was just. so good!! Really taking a look at people's life, hearing what motivated them, what made them laugh and suffer... Like a said this was a very thoughtful and great experience : )
your review means so much to me, with you being the reason this game even exists in the first place. hearing one of my heroes get such a thoughtful and strong experience out of something I did,, really feels ethereal & unreal. you're an endless gift, kathi. ps: you're stuck with my ass doing your music and sfx for a long while so i hope you enjoy this personal hell you created 💕✨
ababababab wdym "one of ur heroes"??? You certainly know some v sweet words!!!
But no fr, it is so unbelievably sweet to hear that I'm one of the reasons why this game exists??? I can't rly believe it but at the same time I feel v honored UvU I do really hope that I get to play another game of you some day in the future UvU
P.S: I sure do hope so????? Not like you'll be able to ever get rid of me either <333
Woah MAN this is underrated. This game is so simple yet so sincere, with a deeper level of emotional complexity to it that I can truly appreciate. The linearity and forwardness go hand in hand with the themes, it's solid and blunt in the best way. This game deserves having a player put thought into what they're reading and experiencing.
that means the whole world to hear, and hearing your thoughts on it gives me confidence to continue making games like this, and being unapologetic with them, no matter how divisive they'll be recieved
Wow i kinda stumbled on this on accident like it just happened to be on "new from those you follow" page which i dont usually check but i got curious when i noticed the name :0 I didnt know u made things unrelated to sound stuff so i had to take a look and im glad i did :D This was super cool and lovely, nice writing, i rly liked this >:3
Awwww! That means a lot to hear, really! Especially since I've been meaning to reach out to you for a while now! Your comments on my sound work have been really heartwarming and to hear this made my day. Super glad you enjoyed it! I just came on to look for game jams as well haha ^^
