This was a wonderful experience :D Very disappointed that Cry In The Corner didn't make you more thirsty though.

a little dull, but I suppose that's sort of the point. Really impressive in the audio-visual department, though.

Brilliant experience playing this. Top marks!
Is there any way to outlast the water supply?

A good theme game. I'm assuming you just always die and there is no other ending. The fact that you're actually a square was confusing to me at first though.

Beautiful game. I am really impressed with the atmosphere and overall setting. It made me think what would I do in a situation like this. Probably just cry in the corner a lot.:) Is there a possibility to survive? I would like to know.

Usually, I am very skeptic about minalistic pixel art, but in this case, it helps to build the immersive experience. Good way of telling a story.

Very fun! The art is amazing, I really love it, The "3d" effect is pretty nice too, I wonder what's the player and whats happening but love it. Maybe you can extend it to do more things like go to other rooms.

Soooo... what DO people call blogs these days?

Also, thanks for making this! Great experience.
Would have loved to have an indicator as to how much water I had left instead of finding out only when I just drank the last one. Yeah, no, I didn't keep track myself.

I love how the music helps to creates the mood.

Weird. I'm not quite sure I was meant to feel. It was a kind of blissful death, as opposed to the panic you would expect. Definitely a memorable mood piece with beauty in its audio and visuals. At times it moved kind of slowly -- maybe a bit more prose would help? -- but in some ways that pacing may have helped the mood. Plus, the general minimalism of it is quite appealing. Overall, a really fantastic entry. Well done!

Love the art concept, and the classic music playing in the background. You really made me feel like I was in a bunker during a war... Very moody game :'D

Very immersive. I wasn't sad when I died, but the whole experience felt very real, if that makes any sense.
