Genuinely one of the darkest games that I've played. The fact that there's nothing I could have done to prevent it from happening. Very simple but also very effective. Great job.
What I really appreciate about this game is how it kept leading me to believe (or I kept assuming) I knew how it was going to end, only for my predictions to mean nothing.
Before I opened the game, I saw the old man and assumed it was going to become some cancer story, then the game started and I realised we were living through war. So I assumed a bomb would destroy the house in a big, sad explosion that confirms finality. Then, the frightened man grips your hand in terror and comfort and the house buckles under its own weight. Like real war, there was no way for me to know until it happened.
It really was quite the ride. I kept just wanting to play checkers and not think about the end. Nice work, man! (:
This is one of my favorite horror games, if it can even be called that.
Every so often I come back to this game to just relive it. Every single time I play it, for the entire game, my breathing is heavy, chills are shooting down my spine, and by the time someone starts knocking on the door, alarms are blaring in my brain, and a tear is in my eye. I never cry while playing video games, this game is the closest I've ever gotten. I've never played a game that was simultaneously as terrifying as it was comforting.
A very short but nice game. It only crashed one time but that may have been on my end. I thought it would be more horror but was more sad 'reminisce' than anything. Community loved it. Great job <3

good game
current events really add to the horror of this i must say. extremely impactful for how simple it may seem on the surface.
this is where men cry...
I didn't get it...
You played with that pperson in order to not think about the war, then you died but not alone hopefully
I didn't even get to finish my game of checkers...
In all seriousness, neat game! I really love the art style.
this was so good i dont even have the words for it.
This really moved me more than I could have expected. Stunning work. Incredible narrative.

Very effective and good. I'm glad I played this.
Spoilers, I guess...

Bruh play cyberpunk through the first heist and then tell me you don't cry from games.
very sad, makes you value family and the present. It also helps remind you to make the most of your life before it ends
its like that yugi-oh episode where yugis grampa is trapped in the dessert with a friend and start playin uno.
gameplay
most normal game of chess
im gonna beat you up really bad
The beginning of this game, weirdly enough, conveys the terror of being in a bombing more than anything I've ever experienced. Great job.
Best game 10/10
pinche viejo tramposo
why is the old guy totally busted at chess, he took 5 of my pieces in one move
