I played your game, amazing story graphics and music I really love it. My friend and I really would like to translate your game into Turkish. If you are interested, contact me via this email address: meliksahcivitt@gmail.com
Incredible game, with a great atmosphere, art, music, and everything as a whole combining into a glorious masterpiece. Short and sweet, and I will recommend to others.
An interesting game with beautiful visuals for a pixel art game. It was short and sweet, a story that just proved myself wrong in the way i thought about certain characters. I like the intro music and i just felt however the game could have made use of a few more music in it though its a short game so i guess its fine. Overall i loved it and was quite emotional to me. I made a series on this game and my first part is out. Good job devs i am expecting more good stuff from you'll! Best of luck!
I think you guys made a remarkable job in this. Visually, musically, narratively all was very cleverly well done. Surprisingly incredible.
I discovered this little gem in the itch.io highlights video, congrats on that to! Very well deserved! I can not emphasize how much this type of game motivates my to pursue my indie game dreams, so thanks to that too.
Well written, well implemented... this is a reference to my future game for sure. I can't wait to see more of you guys. Keep on doing great games!
============================================== Spoilers below because I described a bug behaviour. I expected that help you guys to fix it :) My game is on latest version (26/06/2021).
Like thechosen1, Sunset Moth and Sofox; after visiting Jakob's house I found a receipt of alcohol and try to talk with the officer at the police station. In the way I activaly tried to talk to Elsa (the florist) but nothing new happens. Walking furthermore Sara enter automatically in the police station, where the same dialog loops indefinitely (the first one, that I already seen before).
Searching in the comments I found what suppose to happen next. So I only try to talk again with Elsa but now the new dialog appears and the story returns to move forward again. After that Filip appears in front of the dinner again and the police station door does not automatically make Sara alwaysenters whilst passing by.
The story, the art, I am hard-pressed to find one thing about this game I do not like. A wonderful experience crafted by some truly amazing and talented people. very much recommend.
From the masterpiece to story-wise, it was beautiful. A good quality game that you can feel emotional towards its story. The perfect sound for every scenery as the story unravels piece by piece. I thought it would've be more about a mystery but nonetheless, I definitely liked it very much.
I was enjoying the game quite a fair bit. gorgeous pixelated artwork, solid story, great music, good atmosphere until I encountered a game breaking bug at the police station. after going inside to question the officer the game keeps kicking me back out side to before I have even spoken to him. so sadly for me I can no longer progress any further.
This game was simply.. Amazing. The visuals, the music, the story were near perfect and really breathtakingly well done. Visuals and music were enthralling and something that never got old, the story as it unravelled was really intriguing and really kept the game going as well. Everything was so well thought out and so well done, it was such a great game.
My computer got about 0.5 frames per second and my computer couldn't make it past the bus scene but the music is very relaxing and the few visuals I did see make this game worthy of 5 stars just wish I could enjoy more of it.
This game is beautiful and have a good port for linux (except that I can't play it directly from itch.io app), can I help with a translation to Portuguese?
Here's how linux users can fix the issue of not being able to launch the game: go into the games install and launch the game with HWKWA_Linux_x86.x86 (no need for wine or marking it as an executable) and then you're all good
Developers... this is a message to you.. You actually made me cry and that has never happened to me playing a video game.. Wow, what a fucking experience... Awesome job guys! Incredible storytelling.. Thank you!
This ending was so brutal and honest and hard hitting I felt it echo. Thank you for creating something so powerful and moving. It made me reflect on how I think of my friends I also left at home, and the lives they're living now. Thank you <3
Have not played this yet, but I just wanted to leave a comment saying I REALLY dig this atmosphere! Glum, dark, rainy, and I love the pixel art~. I'll definitely be sliding you a few bucks when I get this. The visuals alone deserve that much~.
I created an account just to write this comment the graphicas of the game are amazing the story is the most fucking briliant and beautifull thing I have ever seen in my life ever legitimatly. In the end a single teardrop fell from my eye something that had never happened to me either it was with a game a series or a movie how Sara just looks back at her life is incredible and you should do a part 2 but don't make it a crime game where you have to figure out clues no keep the story and the plot completely amazing like this game.

Hi just one small thing. For your launch script you have the Linux executable named wrong, it's "HWKWA_Linux_x86.x86".
I have this linux issue...
./HWKWA_Linux_x86.x86
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keySet current directory to /HWKWA_linux

I install the pipewire alsa package and my entire sound system go down, and the game without sound.
So I uninstall the pipewire alsa package and the sound system is now up ;).
I'm going to check in window I hope I have better luck¡¡¡.
I use OpenSuse 15.2 leap with kde 5 desktop.
