I really loved this... It wasn't what I was expecting, tho lol. When the description says "when your loved one hurts you" I was anticipating more interpersonal conflict and less navigating grief. Still, very important work and I loved going thru it. <3 Bless more lgbtq content!

Also, lmao, August reminds me of my partner and May reminds me of me and now I need to go schedule that doctors appointment I keep promising to set up //guilt

I love your games. Thanks for Linux build :)

This game as well as other games by Angela is (are) amazing, great art, music and storytelling.  I want wife, spare wife anyone?

Such a lovely little piece, really hit me in the feels hard for how short and simple it is. Adore the art style, love the music choice. Beautiful work here :)

this the type of game that gets me listening to lo fi music and writing letters to my future wife. ugh great game it got me right in the feels

The story hit me even harder every time I reached a dead end and replayed the chapter. This game addresses some of the deepest desires and fears we have as humanity: the yearning for meaning and for love. 

Story - 4/5 - The length is just long enough that I felt connected with the characters, but short enough that backtracking doesn't feel like a chore. What really stood out to me was the nuances in dialogue that shifted through each playthrough based on my choices. This game makes me seek out a happy ending. That being said, using death to tug at heartstrings is somewhat cliche, but that didn't stop it from being effective.

Mechanics - 3.5/5 - Obviously nothing groundbreaking, but for visual novels, the most important thing is that the mechanics don't break immersion.

Visuals - 4.5/5 - The art style is gorgeous, and the general lack of motion makes scenes with movement more meaningful. The only time immersion was broken was when there was a transition in scene and the characters suddenly looked like they reversed in age 10-20 years. I would definitely recommend fixing that, but otherwise, I have no complaints.

Sound - 3.5/5 - I'm not a fan of Lo-Fi, but the music generally fit the art style and topic. A little variety would be welcome to break the repetition.

Overall - 4/5   Difficulty - Very Easy/N/A

Completed - Playthrough (5 out of 5 endings)(1 hr)

This game made me feel more than I expected - beautiful art supporting a beautiful story. Incredibly heartwarming, I love it!! <3

i just finished this game and i am so incredibly moved by it

I keep trying to play the game and the exe files crashes every time. I think the UnityCrashHandler is itself crashing before the game does and another Unity game i downloaded is fine. I have a Win 10 64 bit system with Radeon and Intel graphics

My wife has early onset Alzheimer's.  And while I'm not a lesbian, love is love, and man this game hits home in such a hard way.  It's absolutely and heart-wrenchingly brilliant.  And the last ending I got just now, I've never wanted to reach through a screen and console a digital character more, to tell her the pain of the loss is indeed worth time you had and the love you shared.  I'm going to have to get all 10 endings before I am done.  It's is amazing how such a simple game can be so profound.

The phrasing of "But when your loved one hurts you, what do you do?" made me think that this was about being cheated on, so I put off playing it. I'm sooooo glad that I played it anyway. It's truly beautiful and as a woman married to a woman, it hit very close to home many times. A lot of tears, but the good kind. Thank you for this wonderful experience <3

nice game, thanks for sharing it :)

This game hit me really hard. And I think I needed it to

Thank you so much. Incredible work.

With which engine/how did you made this game?

The art style is looking very good btw!

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's unity!

Loved this made me think!

Made me cry faster than any other media I have consumed. Realistic depiction of lesbians 10/10

i bought this through the bundle for racial justice and equality and have cried so much while playing this. its just so emotional and so beautiful.

I loved missed messages and didn't realize this was made by the same person at first, I only wish I could buy the fan pack through here so I don't have to buy a separate copy of the game through steam

I think you can buy the fan pack through here :

"Fan Pack.zip 56 MB if you pay $5 USD or more"

This made me cry at 6am ;-;

Hell, this hit hard. The art was amazing and the story was great, albeit very sad.

(+1)

i just finished the game with all the endings, it made me cry it was so good 

Hey Angela, have you thought about putting the .apk here? It would be really nice to try this on my phone!

(+1)

love the art and music in this. i definitely cried more than id like to admit LOL

I love all of your work so much. Your games mean so much to me, I may or may not have cried several times playing them lolol. This one was so good, I loved it. I can't wait to see what games you make in the future ;]

Quick question: What's in the Fan Pack?

(+1)

Hello. I just downloaded the fan pack and it comes with what's described below the buttons for the Play Store, the iOS store and Steam: 4 soundtracks, 22 wallpapers, and a thank-you drawing.

Hello, I bought the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, how can I claim this game?

(+9)

go to the page where your bundle is at and type this game's name into the search bar, it'll pop up and all you'll need to do is download it.

This broke me. Beautiful game <3

only time i broke was when Lightning McQueen crashed. Truly a sad day.....

I've actually never seen that... 
It's a big gap in my upbringing I know.

The art is beautiful and I love playing all the finals.

I'm Spanish and I found some spelling mistakes, in which email can I send you the screenshots with the corrections?

Awesome work!

After playing Missed Messages, this was instant buy. I loved the story, the characters and the way of repeating it looking for other endings without feeling repetitive.

Awesome work!

This was such an experience and i'm happy to support such an amazing developer! I was very invested in the characters and their feelings!

I absolutely loved it. I've played Missed Messages multiple times through and I've always wanted to know their story after where it ended. So, thank you so much for making this. Each ending made me so emotional. It took me three tries to get the closure ending, but I did it. Thank you again for making this, I enjoyed it very much.

Btw, I absolutely love that May's pug plushie had cameos in this game.

EDIT: It made me go play Missed Messages again since the ending made me miss May. 

LOLOL Pug

Thank you for finding so much meaning in their stories! Means a lot

Suggestion on a new game: Can you make a browser game that has to do with cats that are like half human? And they have powers like: fire, water, earth, air and the long lost power of magic?

(+7)

nah but cool sugggestion tho maybe you could do it

(-3)

XD I have no game making skills, only pixelated art is my specialty

I had bought this game on google play and I had wanted to ask will you ever bring missed messages to mobile devices?? but this game was amazing!!

The game keeps crashing after text conversation after the marriage scene : (

(+1)

what's your system OS/graphics/etc?

I played it on Steam and loved it!! Is it a Missed Messages sequel or more like an alternative universe ? ^_^

(+2)

a sequel!!
