I loved this game so much! It was so calming and introspective. I loved all the little attention to detail like how you gain an umbrella whenever you go outside, and how many little things you can interact with like the vegetable patch. All the dialogue felt so vibrant and fun and the artstyle and pallette was really cool :) can't believe this was your first game!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much?? That means so much to me! It was a lot of fun to make and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. I love this. The atmosphere, and the different people, and jumping in every puddle I could find... this was very well done. I especially liked finding all the memories and the reflective feel of it all.
Thank you so much! Im glad I was able to pull of the "reflective" mood. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
love this!! it's really pretty, and i love how much of the town you can explore. really lovely game!! i would never have guessed it was your first, wow!!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I really wanted to capture that reflective, comfy feeling. Ahhhh, thank you for the nice words!!
This game was so good and i loved exploring it and i cant wait for you to make a new game
Oh my gosh??? Thank you so much??!!
Lovely little exploratory game! And I loved the puddle quest
You are a puddle prodigy. Thank you for playing!!!
SPLASH. The storm's going to be okay!
Storms come and go, and we will adapt. Thanks for playing!
Lovely game, I love the atmosphere you've created, thanks for sharing!
And thank you so much for enjoying it!
This is my favorite type of game, amazing how many activities you were able to fit in!
I have such a fondness for simple games where you just talk. Thank you so much for playing!
Gosh, I love this! I'm impressed by just how much of Drizzledale there is to explore, all the little conversations you can have, how some link up together, and how some things you do change the conversations you have. I accidentally ended the game early the first time around, so I played it again and really took my time, and it was so lovely to collect those ten memories. It's a good reminder about unpredictability, change, and taking things a step at a time. (I also enjoyed the beetroot bits too much, as I, too, hate beetroots.)
Thank you!!! Im really glad you had a nice time! I didn't think anyone would find the beetroots haha. It feels nice to have people relate to what I made. Thank you for playing!
