The twist about who Cade was shocked me!
Simply beautiful! π
Also, damn, ya really had to hit us in the FFXIV, huh?
God, my heart broke into a million pieces. This is so sad but also so beautiful!!!
The art, the writing, the voice acting... everything is stunning and I really feel for the MC. I hope they can heal knowing that Cade is watching over them. Their friendship will be eternal π
This game is great! The art is just so beautiful and it has a relaxing feel to it. The story is sad but I love their relationship.
Thank you so much for playing! I left a comment on your video. π
Very poignant. Excellent job, you guys!
Thank you Hermetic. πππ
oh heartbreaking! loved it!
Sorry for breaking your heart. But I'm glad you loved it! π€£
I did not expect that, whoo boy my heart, I love Cade not only just design wise and personality wise, but also the voice! It really suited her, wonderful job to Rita for bringing life to Cade (I'm seeing the irony)! I love the angsty plot and I truly do hope MC can move on so they can show Cade they can do this. Also the visuals?? I'm so obsessed with the background, I was so enamored by the night starry sky and when I saw the new addition??? I was bawling in the inside man! Great job!!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the game. π₯Ίπ
I honestly started crying while playing this... </3
Incredibly beautifully written, directed, acted, everything. Tore out my heart and threw it on the floor. Sorry, I feel like I can't come up with more words to say because my feelings are now like akldjfalskdjfasdf
