This is the first time I tried to play and all the people were already gone, I'm not sure if it was a glitch of some kind or what but it's a little disappointing. I wish there was a way to restart it somehow. Not bad for 72 hours though, I suppose. The music fits and the graphics are alright

Why exactly is this rated M? There's nothing adult-like or even mildly inappropriate about the "game." Maybe there's swearing if you talk to a living NPC, but other than that, there isn't even any gore. It looks pretty nice visually, but the game is basically just "talk to a living NPC before they die in real-time." However, I like the idea and concept of this game. It could've probably been better as a movie, though.
Yawn
Ok people die. I get it. Yes I also have relatives who are now gone. Do I want to play games to remember that? No. If i want to remember them I will look at their photos or visit their grave or pray for them or speak about them with other people lost them. I don't want to play a game about it.
Here is a challenge for you artsy nongame creators - make a game/nongame without the same melancholic piano track that is used in all these games. You all want to be experimental and innovatoric right? Well then be that.
One star for good graphics.
I love the cerebral quality, idea of time-based internet art and this particular and nuanced way of using a game to capture grief, and of course the design and visuals. I didn't get to see any of the characters, however, since I played it too late. I would love to see fragments of who they were, on the table or the bed, some of their possessions or family members or cookie crumbs or postcards or whatever, to get a sense at least of who it is that I'm supposed to be missing. great job.
what a fantastic nogame concept. really captures the feels, Only wish there was an option to restart the nogame for each individual. maybe account creation, which I know is time consuming. great job for 72 hrs anyway
