Such a haunting game. Even though it's been a long time since I played it, I still randomly think of it, as the storyline resonates with me on a personal level. Main character comes back to their hometown, visits a grave of an old friend and starts to reminisce. Seems like a banal idea for a story, yet there is something so emotional and so touching it's hard to forget. Overwhelming feeling of guilt, and the urge to deny the neglect is shown in such a simple form - game mechanics, graphics and spare style of writing.
Thanks for making a Linux version, the readme tells about the glitch and the script to run it, that is kinda convenient, except that you wrote the whole gamename into the script while the file is called differently, this does not work, it needs to call HWKWA_Linux_x86.x86... just wanted to say that before I forget it while playing... which I will do now :)
Such a BEAUTIFULL game!!❤!!..I'm so glad i found it!..I purchased the deluxe edition and i loved the wallpapers and everything else that was included!!
Thank you so much for this game,i really hope you make more!!
There is no sound in Linux version... :((( The following appears in the log: "FMOD failed to initialize any audio devices, running on emulated software output with no sound." Pulseaudio on my system is working correctly & all other apps have sound. Anybody knows a solution for this?
I can't express how much the story moved me. It was so heavily emotional for me. The music and the graphics. Everything was well put together. I look forward to your future games
You really have a gem here. I was not expecting at all to get so involved in this story, and by the end I was almost crying. THANK YOU, I can’t wait to see everything you do next!! Here’s my playthrough video :)
Wow. Simply Wow. Maybe best five bucks I spent since inception of the indie scene. That writing... Man, it is soooo good. I was simply stunned how great this little project is. So personal, nostalgic, emotional... Those two last scenes - on cemetery and then in the church - those hit me, as they say, right in the feels. Guys, you've made something truly special. You have a serious potential, please don't let it go to waste. I'm eagerly, like EAGERLY, await your next project. Big, huge thanks! I just wish there would be more games like this, and not that AAA-empty-monetized-to-hell crap.
P.S. Somehow I pictured every scene as a movie. It was so weird, as every scene went in my in parallel with my imagination how can it look as a movie. This was so weird, as it happened to me only a couple of times. I'd really wanted to see it worked into a movie.... Man, that'd be great.
Due to the fact I’m an idiot, I chose this game thinking it was a horror game. Turns out it was an “hour long melancholy, point-and-click narrative mystery game.” It was such an AMAZING story and such a wonderful experience I decided to make a new playlist just for games like this. I never did anything this long before completely unprepared, but it was so good I wasn’t going to stop. I sincerely hope you all enjoy watching this as much as I did playing it. Do yourself a favor. Make some tea, cuddle up in your warmest blanket, purchase this game and have yourself an enjoyable
time. If the devs ever see this, damn you for pulling on my heart strings and making me feel….also please make more…..
Gosh, what an absolutely beautiful and brutally sad game. Even though this is just part 1 of 2, all the comments could not prepare me for how much this would pull on my heart strings
Wonderful experience, perfect art style visually and musically. I enjoyed every scene, every particle and every single moment, specially the one on the title scene, i stayed there for like 20mins after finishing the game. Thank you so much for such an artistic piece and i hope you keep creating awesome games like this, really grateful.
Agh I haven't got the chance to download but I'm really happy that ica nära is in the game, or atleast I think it's ica nära, it could be just be the name of the town
Absolutely stunning game visually, beautiful soundtrack and holy shit what an emotional game. Made me cry on stream lmao, totally worth it though, glad I experienced it
This game reminded me of such a valuable lesson: reach out to those you love and care about! I'm soo guilty of this, and I'd imagine a lot of us are. This was a beautiful experience, and I enjoyed every minute of it! Looking forward to the next project!
I really love to play this game, But I live in a really estranged place, I have no access to any credit card to pay this gorgeous, Imagine I live in some place like north Korea :(((

Also thanks for including a Linux version (you might want to update the launch script as the filename referenced seems to be from an old version).
This game forreal gave me life is strange vibes.
Gosh, what an absolutely beautiful and brutally sad game. Even though this is just part 1 of 2, all the comments could not prepare me for how much this would pull on my heart strings
