A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android

STORY

It's been a while since you felt anything. The only thing that reminds you of human feelings are your poems. Melancholy is the only company you have for the rest of your life... or so you thought.

After moving to a lonely suburban city in the middle of nowhere, you found a little ghost in your new room. They don't speak, but somehow having someone to greet you feels nice. And so, you decide to hang out for a little bit.

"Seize the day", as they say. Something unexpected might happen.

This was so cute!!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Cute and melancholic!!! The color scheme really accentuates the mood of the piece and the music is also very somber and nice. Also I love the ghost and wish all the best for them!!! (And also protag!!) The poems were also really pretty and just--!! Everything about this game is so good omg. Thank you so much for making it!!

Oh my god, this is so cute. And the story, while simple, is so strangely compelling. I can't put into words why I love it so much but I do. Even though the game is very short, you managed to capture the feeling of melancholy really well, at least in my opinion. Nice job.

aaa thank you so much!!! :'''))) I'm really glad you liked it! 

Thank you for making this game! I enjoyed it a lot and the art and storytelling kind of reminded me of cartoons I used to watch when I was younger :)

aaaa thank you so much!!!!! i'm happy you liked it! i really wanted it to give the feeling of nostalgia so i'm glad you felt that way! :)))
