Neither of you remember the rules that well. But it doesn't matter.
- A short ~3 minute narrative experience.
- Click a piece when its your turn and then click the destination.

y'all talking about how this is sad and stuff but nobody talking about how this shit is like is it js me? 😭
I found out about this game years ago, but it really stuck with me so every now and then I come back to it and play it again. Gentle and hard-hitting like few things❤️
good game BUT WHY TF DID WE KEEP PLAYING CHECKERS (I may have realised it could have some value and meaning to them sooo)
sad but beautiful
One of the best games I've ever played
beautiful, i'd imagine this similar to "When The Wind Blows" where everythings crashing down but being there for someone can be enough...beautiful story even if it was only three minutes and i near peed myself.
It is sad, but it's also sweet. The idea of having someone and being there for each other. Holding hands and smiling at each other at the end. We don't know these characters or how they're connected, but that sort of 'it isn't going to be okay, but I'm here for you' is so moving. Thanks for making this!
It's so good :(
heartpounding and wonderfully effective
5/5
Great Sghort Game
sad(^╥﹏╥^)
Gostei muito do jogo e eles jogando dama pra esquecer de tudo o que é ruim que está acontecendo lá fora e o final que o senhor pega na mão do filho como se quissese falar que vai estar tudo bem e que nada de ruim vai acontecer com a gente , foi bem triste 😢
Yo what's the lore? is it like there's war going on and people are purging or what
I think it's up to your imagination to what's going on in the background. It could be a war, civil war, or an invasion in the background.
YES
Excellent piece of art.
EXCUSE ME SIR, YOU'RE BEING VERY RUDE! CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT WE NEED TO FINISH THIS GAME BEFORE WE OPEN THE DOOR? JUST GIVE US A FEW MINUTES!
(Talking to whoever is knocking, if you couldn't tell)
ta chido
aMAZING
Именно так должны работать игры..
нам абсолютно ничего не сказали
персонажи настолько не разкрыты что мы даже их имени не знаем
но емоции...
это единственный проект которий за долгое время вызвал у меня емоции
What happened?
I from the country, where right now is war. Im crying . This game can be in real life.. like, you know. When something really bad is going on, i always distract my younger brother in a similar way. I'm afraid for both him and my mother. I sorry, if here mistakes in words or in sentence.
Hope it turns out well for you!
can we pretty please with a cherry on top get a spin off where they live and can finally complete the game?
cringe ass
if that's cringe, i don't wanna know what's cool. i think that's sweet, where they live and complete the game
I really like that idea! Very sweet.
Fantastic game, absolutely love it. The aesthetic mixed with the narrative sfx makes this a masterpiece in my opinion. Great work.
bro is so lucky the bomb hit i would've had him
i dont understand... why did bro smile and i just went to sleep or somthin
This is so good im crying
Absolute CINEMA. 🙌🏼
Good thing I am physically unable to cry.
his face is so ugly i hate him, also he cheated throughout the whole fgame so its unfair. booo🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅💦💦
this was so sad, I loved it :D
man that was depressing
true
kinda sad :(
wow... Amazing animation and art-work!
amazing
Brutal.
Congratulations.
Dang, this was so sad... And I mean it in a positive way
Wow, how a short story can tell that much. I love the game and impressive atmosphere! Congrats.
I really love how oppressive and aimless this was. Even without the name of the old man, nor any personality, I felt a familial connection with him as everything came apart. Gorgeous work.
