A fantastic game!  Probably the best lite-puzzler I've played in months.  Really enjoyed this one, thanks for putting it out!  I can't imagine how much time it took to write out and correlate all the different memory entries.  Lots of work, I'm sure, but it really paid off.

Fantastic 'calibration' of the step values, too.  I ended with plenty left over, but having that metric RIGHT THERE and scaling up the cost of reversing time with the smaller time increments helped kept me from clicking through while rapidly scanning for polaroids. Fortunately, like I indicated above, the excellent writing kept me hooked too. Tons of times I went back, paying the 'steps' penalty, when I accidentally clicked past text without a polaroid. Her journal entries overcame my gamer "get a high score" instincts.

i couldn't replay it Two Dozen times or anything, but I really really enjoyed my one playthrough, so thank you again for putting this out there for free!

The story did take a lot of planning in advance, but once the time frames were figured out things fell into place pretty nicely. Lot of writing yup haha.

It's not a very replayable game, but I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with it. Thanks for the review!

Hi, first off you got yourself a really cool game here.

Second of all, I think you mixed something up just a little. On August 26, Year 7 it talks about playing in the sprinklers with Pony. Except the character doesn't get Pony until December 2, Year 8

Probably a small oversight and me being a insane enough to go through the whole thing one day at a time, but still

Hi! Thanks for pointing that out! We plan to put out a small update to clean up the dialogue and a few other features soon-ish.

That's incredible that you went from starts to end by day. Thank you so much for playing through our game!

ohhh it took me so long to figure it out

i seem to only be able to move through decades, how do i move through years, months, or days? also theres a N/A button to the top right of the decade button, what is it meant to do?

Hi! Once you find enough hidden polaroids you can unlock the next increment by clicking the padlock at the end. The clock button allows you to go back in time for certain increments.  Thanks for playing!
