Finishing this game, the first and foremost thought is, god I love stories like this. Stories of friendships that sprout from helping one another through struggles and in opposition to the notion of othering. The story is really sweet, and I'm really glad to have gone through it.
Then, an inch away from foremost prominence, my mind really can't help but think "a sequel to this would simply be fantastic", though I can only imagine that there are issues involved in doing such a thing, so. As it is, this story is really wonderful. It's a perfect standalone experience!! So, whether or not a sequel is an idea that could sprout or not, this leaves a lot to the imagination for the future...
The emphasis in the soundtrack on melodic percussion (or at least, my brain focusing in on it and reacting to it) is really wonderful too, though that's probably a personal bias. What I mean is, I'm glad one of the characters is named "Chime". It's a beautiful instrument, and, as sort of a dorky extrapolation, chimes certainly add a lot to a mystical and wonderful atmosphere, so... I mean. Just in general, the soundtrack is wonderful!!
That's all to say, thank you for making this game!! It's really sweet, and I'm glad it has such a positive message and outlook. Experiences like this are simply fantastic!!!!!!
This was a fun and a cute short game. I loved the message it told as it could be interpreted differently to people going through different situations. Love from Ethiopia ❤️
The game is really cute so far! I love the atmosphere and the cute characters. However, for some reason I'm struggling to prepare Lilac's part of the potion... I can't figure out how to cut the vegetables.
The Linux version does not seem to work for me on Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 64-bit. After unzipping, and adjusting the permission to allow "Game.desktop" to run as a program, I tried running "./Game.desktop" in the terminal and got the following error:
./Game.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
./Game.desktop: line 3: -c: command not found
Does anyone know how to work around this issue? All other NPCKC games I've tried work. I think I'm just going to play the Android version on my phone.
EDIT: I have now completed the game on my phone and I loved the ending!
Ahhhhh so fricking cute! The music, their walking animations, and I especially love when Lilac's sprite is confused or shocked. It's adorable. I didn't know if Chime's name was pronounced as just 'Chime' or 'She-may' but I went with the second option since it was cuter lol. 10/10. Pity it was short tho.
this is an issue with your system (mac) and not the game. you have the game in a folderpath that does not allow writing (saving) so please try moving it to a different folder before playing.
Would be nice if Mac developers would specify if their games are 32 bit or 64 bit. Just bought this game and didn't find out until after I paid for it that I can't play it because it's 32 bit. It's hard enough to find games for Mac anyway.
hi! i'm trying to play this game on my mac but i keep on getting an error on the language selection page. i'm not sure if this is something from my computer or an in-game thing, so could you please help? thank you
this is usually an error that occurs because of where you have saved the app - the location seems to be read-only, so the game can't save. please try moving it to another location or checking the permissions of the specified file.

hi, sorry for the issue! would you please try launching the game via nw instead of game.desktop?
