Excellent short game, love the ending.
A pleasure to play, nice one Eric!
For something that's been done in a week, it's incredibly good. The graphics are beautiful, the animation is great and the story and puzzles are simple enough to be enjoyable and create a believable experience.
Well done !
A fine game to play, the atmosphere is appropiate and the plot is original, good work.
