Hello! I made a video talking about a few indie games including yours. I wanted to thank you for allowing people to experience such a personal moment of your life.
almost felt as me and my dad at some point. only that i'm a girl, never had the chance to say or talk about this with him, my mom after a discussion told in my place taking this away from me.
okay so i just signed up so i can say this game was amazing i played it two times even if i already went down the same path. keep up the amazing work :)
this game is SO realistic, i've had these things said to me one to one by my family. i really relate to the main character too. plus i got so anxious at the ''i'm gay'' part i almost cried lol. it's good it ends there. hope you're ok though, game is great 12/10
What an awesome interactions, it may not be exact to some but really relatable with both perspectives of a parent and child. I love the atmosphere, the art, and the music. Great work.
thanks! i initially tried to have some more "positive" options but they didn't feel very authentic as to my personal experience since this is auto-biographical. i appreciate you sharing your perspective though.
Storytelling, art, believable dialogue, audio, all came together so well & created the perfect atmosphere. I lived this exact conversation except with my grandma, so it resonated :)
Good work on this! The art was critical to getting me to try it, and the writing kept me playing until the end. Best of luck with your future projects.
One bug in the later half I encountered: "Dad" says a line that seemed like it was meant to be the PC's. I don't remember exactly which one, and it didn't really hurt the experience.
This is such a great experience! So creative and effective. It really emulates the mood of the situation and reminded me of some discussions my dad and I had. Awesome pixel artworks !

i'm sorry that happened to you.. i'm glad you could relate

aww thank you! appreciate it
I only played this game because it said car ride with your dad, and my dad recently passed, but after playing it it was very touching.
Spoiler:
Also, really love the cliffhanger!
sorry about your dad.. thank you for sharing, i'm happy it touched you!
spoilers.
but i somehow predicted the son was gay.
must be gaydar
hahaha glad it came across.. i did try to have some (very vague) hints here and there
honestly, i think in my head it was mostly a joke.
but i guess jokes predict reality.
The reference Gaydar. lol

i'm ok! i'm happy (and sorry) you could relate :)

I have my gameplay over here:
omg! thank you for sharing! i had fun watching it :)
Cool dad character. I wish there were some positive paths in the conversation though. In most paths the son is just so toxic.
