The most beautiful pixel art game I have ever played. Wow, just wow. I saw that the deluxe edition had some neat stuff, but since the game was free I wanted to try it out first. Great Game. Great Art, and great music! The music creates a calm atmosphere, and with the help of the rain, an even calmer atmosphere is created. A short but very worthwhile point-and-click adventure in a sad and gloomy town. I recommend this game to everyone, but if you have 2$ to spare, please buy the deluxe edition. The team really deserves it, and don't get me started on those wallpapers that are included!!!
Justo ahora solo puedo escribir en español porque no me saldrían las palabras en inglés suficientes para decir cuan maravilloso es este juego, me atrevo a decir que más que un juego ha sido una experiencia. Por momentos en verdad comienzas a pensar como la protagonista, y esta tan bien hecha la narrativa qué es muy fácil meterte en la historia, por dios, en varios momentos me hizo llorar mientras leía los diálogos. Definitivamente vale la pena jugarlo, por lo menos una vez.
A very touching story and great atmosphere. It felt very guided though. The player doesn't have to make any choices at all, expect from a few dialogs which don't affect the story.
amazingly done!!! But if you want to change anything: -Sometimes the movement is clunky, and in some doorways you can make yourself invisible -I was so disappointed when I arrived at my grandfathers grave, didn't have flowers, went back to the flower shop and my response to "did you forget anything" was a no.
Still, an amazing game, especially the art direction!
God dang did this game kick me not only in the feels but also my train of thoughts. I related so much to Sara in a way that I blindly agreed with her, and when I realized what was really happening it really felt like a slap to my face and woke me up to reality. God the story's so good, the pacing is nice, the artstyle is also lovely, the ambience/music complements it well, and it felt so polished and clean it's amazing. Wonderful job even though it's haunting me!!
I played this game almost a year ago and now that I have an itch account I want to leave my thanks—this story has left such a profound impact on me and articulated a lot of the anxiety I've felt with the passage of time and changing relationships. Very powerful work <3
I loved this game and it had me making theories and guessing the entire game, Loved the themes and the emotions in it, really makes you think. I recommend it to anyone. Check out my playthrough here
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…..

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).
