LOVE this game so very much. i do wish to ask though if there happens to be a way to save? i can see the option of loading save files but i cannot find a button to save anywhere... i've been trying to get the last ending that i'm missing but with the lack of save files it's been taking longer than i would've wished. spectacular game though, the prose is wonderfully haunting and the art is beautiful and the ambient music perfectly accompanies the calm and the stressful alike :]
When I made this game, save implementation was pretty janky in the engine. It's been overhauled since, but I'm afraid there's not a ton I can do without diving deep into the game and rewiring a bunch of stuff and testing to make sure it still works, which seems like a lot of work for a short, free game I finished years ago... Apologies for the inconvenience.
Hello. Just played through, and this was heartbreaking and beautiful and will stay with me for a long time. Will be replaying this soon because i didn't get a good ending. Thank you for this
Replayed a bunch of times to get the good ending, I don't have the heart to try getting a bad end. The best part of the story has to be the worldbuilding (sort of sci-fi, dystopian city) and characters, both Hornet and Emily are very well-written and complex (even with different family backgrounds). Choices in this story have more influence on the narrative than I expected :0 so props to the writer for having so much care.
The abstract, painterly art style really suits the narration and gets me to stop and think and feel, if that makes sense. Altogether, this is something that will stick in your mind afterwards.
One of, if not THE most fascinating visual novel I've played in my life - the writing, the music, and the visuals (gods, the visuals) all come together to create a must-see narrative experience that will stick with you for a long time.
This page says the game takes about an hour to play but do not let that fool you: If you're anything like me you will sit there for three hours minimum looking at the art alone, not to mention trying to get every ending.
If you're a fan of unsettling stories and incredible art, this is ABSOLUTELY the game for you. I can't recommend it enough <3

I've gotten the Emily and Flower endings, and put a solid number of additional attempts in, how do you get the third?
Incredibly gripping, gorgeous game. Thanks so much for making this.

Is there a way to play this in windowed instead of fullscreen?
Apologies for the late reply: F11 should work
Wonderfully haunting art and writing, thank you so much <3
Awesome game, very evocative, great storytelling

I really enjoyed playing this game, the art is beautiful, the story is hooking and the choices you make have a lot of influence in the story.
saying that I have a question, are there only two endings in the game or are the more?
Thank you for the kind words! There are three endings : )
