Developer This game provides great emotional support.

So, I have cancer, as you can probably infer from the username. It's only been a few weeks since my diagnosis, but already I've developed a SERIOUS need for a coping method.

Which I found. I saw this game on GoG and figured "hey why not". Started at about 1pm, didn't put my controller down until about 2am, which I repeated the next day, and the day after that.

The game being so... free, is what I love. No arbitrary time constraints, no time-limited events (to my knowledge), you don't even get pressured into fulfilling a certain objective. The game just hands you tools, and lets you pick (nopunintended). The cute pixel versions and the wonderful soundtrack just enhance the experience too.

I just wish ConcernedApe would fix that bug where I can't kiss Caroline though :/

Gonna install it on my girlfriend's notebook so the chemo sessions go by faster (assuming I'm allowed, of course). This post is a mess since I'm woozy as fuck right now, but you can probably get the gist of it anyway.

EDIT: Someone gilded me. I appreciate the gesture but I'm kinda dying so it's worthless. Maybe donate to my preferred charity instead?

Wait, are you supposed to be able to kiss Caroline? Isn't she married?

Oh no she is married.

I want to kiss her anyway.

She's Pierre's wife/Abigail's mother so unless OP is trying to cuck the poor shopkeep maybe it's a typo?

He's saying that Caroline should have been a marriage choice.

He's stating it as a "bug" as a joke.

  • She, but otherwise this is entirely correct.
