A neat little concept with some nice visuals and pleasant music. I really like the way this unfolds into different mini stories.

Wow!! This is really, really cool!! :D It really does feel like there are six bite-sized stories, and I love how different each of them. It's keeping me on my toes, what's the next story... Let me play again, I keep playing...

Ah, it's hard to pick a favourite, but probably The Hero has the most exciting plot twist for me!

I loved this a lot, what a fun experience! I loved the BGM a lot too, it gets the vibe really nicely.

Thank you for making this! <3

Aww thank you so much for the lovely comment! It makes me very happy to hear you enjoyed playing. ^^ The Hero is certainly one of the most pleasant endings! Thanks for taking the time to check out the game - it means a lot! :)

That was cool! An exploration of themes and different 'what-could-have-beens' with the painting as a central piece. I liked the point-and-click element! It's neat that the same object might be interpreted in many ways and lead to different memories. The romantic endings were my favorites (something about the wording and how they're meant for each other got me, haha). But all in all, each ending had something interesting to it. 👌

(i only wish there was an option to skip read text!)

Thanks so much for your comment!! I had fun writing the romantic endings, so I'm happy you liked them. ☺️

And that's a good suggestion! Hopefully as I learn more programming, I'll be able to include more options like "skip text". At the moment I'm a newbie to Godot, so still got a lot to learn!

This game feels like six bite-sized short stories in one, each one intriguing in its own way. My favourite was probably "Goodnight, Nightmare" but I enjoyed them all!

Thank you for playing and for your kind words! I did want to experiment with a branching-paths game where the endings were vastly different. Glad to hear you enjoyed! And that's one of my favourite endings too. ;)
