For me, my experience with this game was more in the personal zone. I like that in such a short time (with a play time of just 45 mins. - 1 hr.), our main characters' relationship was fleshed out just right, just enough.
Although conflict is what drives the game forward, it does not solely focus on that. It is impressive to me that Augustine and Winnie's characters too have been fleshed out in such a short amount of time that does not lack but delivers everything just right. It makes you, the player, see not only Augustine's perspective but also Winnie's and makes us see that one is as valid as the other. I also liked that Augustine was an unreliable narrator.
Now, there is no blueprint or objective to be followed in portraying real-life relationships, but I think this game nailed the feelings it was trying to get across that we tend to feel when we are in relationships similar to that of Augustine and Winnie. Plus, although I liked the good ending because "Yay, they got along again!!" and the bad ending made me feel quite... despondent, I like that the latter was also made anyway.
The game itself has been well-executed. I had a good — and emotional, may I emphasize — time in playing this.
hello. Rachel. this is going to be my most honest review of your game.
this game has enlightened me. it has changed my thoughts about everything and myself. the good ending has brought me to tears because of how good it was. this whole game changed the directory of my life in just a single hour. the designs, the artwork, the story compliment eachother so well that i cannot believe that this was done in 25 days. please never stop making these extraordinary games for all of us.
This is certainly a game I won't get over anytime soon. Just, perfection. The art, the writing, the dialogues, the narrative, the settings... God, what a BEAUTIFUL game!! I want to have what they have.
not rly a fix, but i experienced the same issue and died like probably 10 times lol. what worked for me is basically just starting out the chase scene by running in the center and then switching to the right side. running by the very right lets you avoid most of the obstacles and avoid the monster despite the game lagging. or at least it worked for me lol. good luck!!
Yall... I just finished the good ending(Which I got first) and now I don't wanna try and get the other ending!(ToT) But on another note, I really liked this game. It was very cute and made me laugh and cry. Then again, I've only played the good ending and don't plan on playing the other cuz I don't want to be depressed so I don't know for sure.🤷🏻♀️
I did too! but the bad ending isnt too bad, it shows Auggie pushing Winnie off the stairs and smiling, then you see the ambulance scene again (when they wake up) and he only has minor injuries instead of a broken foot. he gets attention and is happy that Winnie is dead.
Almost cried both endings. It's like the ending I'd expect from Studio Investigrave AND an ending where they actually, you know, solve their issue. It's great, I won't have to write fanfiction to console myself after a particularly harrowing ending this time. 10/10, would recommend.
Hi! just started playing and i cant get past the chase scene, i keep dying no matter what i do ive been playing for almost an hour now and idk if im playing wrong or... (ToT)

Hey, does anyone know how to get the chase scene to work properly? Everytime I do it, it lags and I end up dying
not rly a fix, but i experienced the same issue and died like probably 10 times lol. what worked for me is basically just starting out the chase scene by running in the center and then switching to the right side. running by the very right lets you avoid most of the obstacles and avoid the monster despite the game lagging. or at least it worked for me lol. good luck!!
same thing happened to me on my first playthrough (not a fix sorry)
lets go gang, we beat our lack of communication

The ending where you don't push him off, literally made me cry so hard, (i'm probably just a sissy but
DAMNthat ending was so good)idea: Make a part 2 of this game where Winnie actually went to another college then both Winnie and Augustine meet up at the other college
