Thank you so much for playing and sharing your experience! I'm sorry it made you cry haha but it makes me happy to see it helped. You will definitely get out of the rut, trust :)
I played this for fun, but then realized how perfect it depicts depression + isolation. I've struggled with depression since I was ~8 years old, and throughout all these years I've never really been able to put it into words, but this matches it perfectly. The disappointment and anger that come with it, its always so confusing. The message is really strong, I enjoyed this game a lot !! :3
Thank you so much. It makes me so happy to see other people connecting to it, it's hard for me as well but knowing that other people share the feeling helps a lot. Thank you :)
it was short but really good, i really enjoyed playing this game and really hit it me where it hurt because of how relatable and realistic it was. you did a great job portraying all of this and the sweet ending wrapped it up so nicely. Keep making games ! :)
Thank you frankie! I'm glad you enjoyed playing it and connected with the message, means a lot to me. I just released the game on steam last week, so if you feel like leaving a review there I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again!
Thank you very much for playing Eyz! Appreciate the stream as well. I just released the game on Steam, so if you'd like to leave a review over there, I would greatly appreciate. Thanks again!
Exactly! Thank you so much for playing! I just released the game on Steam, so if you'd like to leave a review over there, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!
Thank you for the words. It's like a hug to the soul, thank you very much for saying that. I just released the game on Steam, so if you'd like to leave a review over there, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!
I would imagine the spider is a metaphor of the building depression the main character is experiencing throughout the ordeal (the more isolated the MC made themselves and depressed they felt, the bigger the spider became up to a breaking point).
The spider having disappeared becoming the point where the MC turns their life around and accepts help from their friends who were there from the beginning of their downward spiral (Worst case scenario for most people that feel so isolated that they have no one to turn to would be to just speedrun their life and be done with it).
I played your game at 45:35, I thought it was really interesting I had fun playing it, I understand why the "Horror" is in quotes though, not too scary and I have arachnophobia. Overall a pretty cool game with a good message about making sure to take care of yourself.
I love this game and I would like to volunteer to translate that game into Turkish so that my Turkish friends can play that game. How can I contact you? I will be waiting for your reply as soon as possible.
Hi! Do you mean translating the subtitles or the whole voice over? If it's the subtitles I can probably make a version just for you and your friends :) Thank you for playing, I'm glad you want to share it.
I was surprised by the story, but the tone of the character was good for their feelings and what they were going through. Hated the spider though! lol. (Second Video: Start About: 8:20)
Quite a relatable little experience. I feel for the protagonist and how hard it can be to so much as exist, let alone reach out to people and try to be productive. Thankfully the sun will always shine again.
This was truly a lovely experience. I couldn't relate to the subject matter, but that only sparked intrigue, and I loved this. the voice acting and music add a peaceful/somber tone that makes the game feel more like a short story (which it is) that you're able to breathe in. This was a lovely experience.
I really enjoyed playing this game. I liked the music as well. I will say the color of the wall and the captions are the same color in some areas, making it hard to read unless I turn to a dark area. I also picked up the spider in the "dream realm?" and there was a change in music that overlayed the other audio. Was I supposed to be able to pick it up if so what was I supposed to do with it?
