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! (:

Damn that was stressing for real
this was crazy good
true horror honestly
Wow, that was out of left field.
yeah i'd say i'm kinda out of control there
SO CONFUSING 😭
Good game
This game feels too much like a situation that could happen in reality, yet it's strangely comforting in a way. It's a bittersweet masterpiece.
beeautiful. thank you for making!!

current events really add to the horror of this i must say. extremely impactful for how simple it may seem on the surface.

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 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...
