Wow that was depressing... but in a good way! Had us really spooked at times, keep making these great games Daniel! (game starts at 13:15)
Once again, fantastic psychological horror short, dealing with such a serious matter in such a artistically abstract way. The only thing I would probably change, is.....well, don't want to give any spoilers here, because that scene is quite meaningful. Keep up the good work, mate! Cheers!
I liked the game wish it was longer tho but i like the enemy wished there was a jumpscare when u died
my vidI thought this was really cool. Seemed like the character was getting more hopeful at the end.
I felt it
I really like the way you explain stories. I really like what you made. Furthermore, I hope in the future I can donate something 👏👏
This Game Was Overall Very Cool With It's Unique Story Telling And Visuals, Even Though I Don't Really Understand The Story. 7/10.
Another interesting game you have made. I went through your log of stuff and found I have played quiet a bit of them. Well done on this one!
Super quick playthrough, but I really enjoyed it!! The colors coming back during the final chase made me a little emotional, haha. Beautiful moral and unique imagery. :)
very intresting game hmmm
Great game hope to see you make more. Have a good day.
Fun little game, good work :)
.
Neat game. I wasn't expecting the Grim Reaper to be so nutty
lmao yeah
Rudy what did they do to you man
A psychological horror that most creative minds hit. Much like Introvert it brings awareness to mental health and the importance of taking care of ones self. The finale of the game makes it stand out above other SeriousDaniel titles. It's a 10/10 again for me and I can't recommend it enough!

Although I am a persistent positive person myself, I am aware that some people are different and thus handle life differently.
This game gives us players a good insight to what may transpire when life gives you lifeless lemons. The shift from black & white to color brings the story/game to life itself.
Well done!
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.
Had fun playing this game
Here's my video of it if you guys wanna check it out.thought provoking game
This game isn't scary, but its psychological focus is clear. It offers a thoughtful, subtle take on mental health rather than horror.
Great game really cool concept, it touches on a dark topic but I think it was really well done in showing something so real in our world.
Awesome job! Keep up the great work!
AMAZING!!!
