Definitly interesting and very athmospheric. The soundtrack is awesome.
However it crashed for me at the 'this is where we met' part. Music was still running but I couldnt progress.

Thanks you for your feedback! This is the only part in which you can "lose" (you back to the house and can retry). You just have to keep right button pressed and reach the woman before she arrives to the margin. I will check anyway if there is a bug there.

I liked the atmosphere of the game, the music and the minimalistic art style. Unfortunately the game also crashed for me when I picked up the photograph of the party.

I think I didn't get to see the picture in the middle due to a crash. Or was that a TV?

Thanks for your reports! What browser are you using? (I only test it on Mozilla Firefox and the only crash that I've detected is when you go to start a second game).

I really like how you manage to express ideas through few and simplified resources. It's a cool entry, from the foley fx to the minimalistic figures.

@neowedge I was using Chrome, but I am not sure I got crash actually. I did get one once I tried to start a second time.

Ahhhhh, the "picture" in the middle!!! It is a fireplace xD. I wanted to light it in some moment, but I discarded that idea and now it is a little confusing xD I am programmer and my art is... improvable hahahaha!!

Very powerful abstract graphics (and I love the blowing wind on intro screen ;) ). Unfortunately the game crashed for me too on the right picture !

Nice take on the theme! Love the music, unfortunately the game crashed for me as well, didn't have to guts to try restarting the game.

It's strange, the game is not very optimized, but I've test it just now in Chrome too and it works fine in my computer :S (typical programmer sentence xD). Next days I'll build a PC version for whose that are experimenting problems. Thanks you so much for the feedback!

I love the atmosphere, and the soundtrack was amazing, I dont know why you opted out of this category. It was buggy though, and it stopped responding.

wow cool. this was great. had a crash, but I see other people mentioning it. But I liked everything up to the crash :)

Thanks!!! I opted out because the music is not mine (if I am not wrong, for compo mode you only can opt to categories that you completely made it). Game just crash or some error is showed?

Looking about Unity WebGL problems, I changed some values in PlayerSettings (programmers stuff xD). I can't know if problems are solved, but I'll be reading this :). Thanks everybody for your reports!

For me it crashed on the right most picture (using Chrome on Windows). What I was able to play was interesting though.

Ugh! I've played half a hundred times from 2 different computers using Firefox and Chrome and I can't reproduce it :'(. What error did you get? This afternoon I'll make a build for PC, anyway xD Thanks you again!

@neowedge Just saw your messages. You can freeze the game by interacting with the daughter and mother in the first photo (if you keep pressing e to skip dialogue it will keep repeating the dialogue) when you leave that scene it will freeze).

And the crash I was referring to in my earlier post shows this error message(it's quite large) This is on Firefox btw:

An error occurred running the Unity content on this page. See your browser JavaScript console for more info. The error was:

If this abort() is unexpected, build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 which can give more information.

Thanks you very much, @rob-white!!! Yes, I found first bug in some of my tests (and other minor ones xD) This evening I'll try to solve the abort(110) bug ;) and/or make a PC build.

I've uploaded Windows, Linux and Mac versions for all whose experienced the crash bug. All of them are the same original version. Next days I'll try to fix the WebGL crash, in addition to other bugs, and I'll improve the texts. Thanks for your patience! ^^

I really liked the music, sound design, and minimalist art style. Both really contributed well to the mystery and dread of the narrative.

Thanks for the feedback! Try the PC version, I think there is a kind of problem with Unity WebGL in browser version :(. Tell me if PC version crash too :).

Nice little game ! I liked the mood created by the music and the slow-paced action. I almost missed the story after the breakup scene. I liked the subtile use of the theme ! However, it's too bad that you had no enough time to improve the graphics. Good work anyway !

(I saw your comment about the music: in Compo mode, you aren't allowed to use assets that hasn't been done by yourself (except for fonts), which mean that your entry should a Jam entry, in which you can use assets made by other people)

hey, nice to see another atmospheric approach to this theme. unfortunately the game stops at "this is.. my home.." for me. can't do anything after that. music was lovely, though - really set the scene.

Great mood. Good music. The combination of the music with the audio effects and the art combined to really draw me in. I hit a bug that caused me to reload and I knew this was really good because I was drawn in enough I wnated to hit reload to play it from the start again to see how it continued!

Great atmosphere and the story fits very well with the theme. As someone as mentioned, this game should be a jam entry as you used assets that are not yours not done on the 48 hour period. And the music is somethins that is very important for the core experience of your game. However i put high scores on Theme and Mood for the story and the fit with the theme. Good work.

I got out from home this days. Reading your comments and rules again I changed "compo" to "jam" because music is not mine (and very important in this game). Also, I added Audio to rate (sounds are 100% made by me with mouth, hands and Audacity). I hope I can get some time to make an update next weekend. Thanks!

Very sad but well done narrative. I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qheLSmToOo
