I really don't know if devs are still here... But I would love if they launch a Portuguese translate. I saw the files, and belive it can be changer, but I can't understand very well what those all line of text means. The game looks great, and I want to rec it to my Youtube channel (not big), but to instant translate my mind is not good.
:/
(Maybe it doesn't seem important to point out, but it would be better if the translation was made into Brazilian Portuguese, not Portuguese from Portugal.... It's okay if you use Google Translate, even with errors, it helps a lot. \o/)
this game felt personal in a lot of ways. i know people who would find victorine's life awfully relatable. her relationship with gabriel is also intriguing. he seems to truly love her but he's somewhat oblivious to her struggles with mental health. the game combines the relationship between the painter and the muse with that of the husband and the wife. the traditional housewife is the source of inspiration for the painter whereas the husband only sees the muse (and her world) on the outside.
it's a thought-provoking concept and with many games like this one, i just wish it was longer. maybe with more endings and meaningful choices, too.
Such a moving and accurate depiction of anxiety even for such a small game. Once I began realizing that I was losing space to escape from others around me, the panic really start to build. The suffocating zoom every time someone makes a mean comment, the subtle ever-tilting of the world, and the colors all serve to make the anxiety visible and real. Although I am well acquainted with anxiety, I feel this game is a rare depiction that could help others who aren't familiar better understand it.
Great game, very nuanced. I liked the subtle touches like the gentle camera tilt that gave an ever-present feeling of emotional instability, and the shifting of colors to indicate the passage of time. Poor Victorine..and poor Gabriel too. Everyone felt sadly trapped in a way, spending time together, yet strangers to each other.
It is so sad how as women we are expected to do all. In the game you can't advance if not did something. Is so unfair and how in real life the husband wishes are always first and the parents are toxic and get noissy in the couples life. It doesnt matter the culture, it happens in all of them.
Im experiencing something similar and even I talk and mention this all time, I'm not listened and I don't want to be in this kind of life anymore :(
this game fucked me up - like, legit crying in real life. super rough to play thru (i just kept wanting it to end before it did), and the dialogue was intensely realistic. the experience of quiet desperation, breaking down in those tiny private moments, all the while being (unintentionally) ground down by your loved ones.
oof.
dude I'm pretty sure being rich doesn't fix all of her problems. She's dealing with constant criticisms from her parents in law, pressure to have a kid, a nicotine addiction, having to do all of the housework, no real free time, her freeloading sister, a whole child in the house, and her husband is kind of obnoxious and useless in this game. She has a lot going on and who would she talk to about her problems? she doesn't want to burden her husband or sister anymore than they are already dealing with, her parents in law look for any excuse to bully her, and she doesn't seem to have much of a social life outside of her husband. She feels trapped. Just because her husband makes decent money doesn't fix her life.
wow this was so... suffocating so fast and done so well! I'm impressed!! Also the little details of the room getting closer of far away, when the MC got actualt compliments she felt better, is such a easy to understand and clear way to express it!! Congrats on the idea and the execution!
Also it makes me want to help my mom more too, so good impact ;_;
The ending was amazing, each day came more harder to get through. I was blown away and heart broken for the poor wife. Thank you guys for this <3
Just wondering, if I changed my respones to the husband, would it still come to the same ending? It's alright if it does, I just want to play this completely through <3
Great short story - though quite heavy. I found myself thrust into the shoes of a woman who felt like she should be happy and grateful for what she had, but instead was without any emotional support and surrounded by shitty toxic relationships with no way out and crumbling under the pressure of it all. Beautifully told.
Un título muy profundo con una temática muy personal e íntima, me ha encantado muchísimo.
Acá dejo la review que le hice: https://retroorama.blogspot.com/2018/11/indie-review-behind-every-great-one.html
Vengo de jugar the red strings club, juego con el que ya me dejasteis impresionado. Y ahora al probar este juego siento que porfín tengo un estudio indie al que seguir cada juego que saquen. Creo que sois de lo mejor.
En sí este juego me ha hecho cambiar mi forma de ver las amas de casa como mi madre. Me parece que lo tratais de una forma muy realista y que involucra al jugador de una manera que pocos juegos han conseguido. Creo que es un juego que debería probar cualquier persona, sobretodo de sexo masculino como yo, para que sepa que es lo que se siente en esta posición en la que no puedes practicamente hacer nada. Es por este estilo de obras que amo el medio de los videojuegos. Gracias por tanto, perdón por tan poco.
