PLAYER REVIEWS OF “FOUR MONTHS EARLIER”:

“…just enough interaction to pull you into the world, gorgeous music, all beautifully rendered, filled with the pathos of interaction between children and their aging parents.” —tototoro, iOS App Store

“…gave me some introspection about my own life and relationships; my parents are getting older now and [I] have never dealt with a loss of someone close in my life before so I worry about it a lot…” —DeathFormz, Steam

“A moment in a story’s arc, beautiful and banal - the dialogue is funny and heartbreaking in its realism. An exercise in meaningful human connection when it matters most.” —adotgdashp, Mac App Store

“I’m floored by how well it told a story and the end had me in chills!” —Danko Boi, iOS App Store

“Amazing. Hands down best game I have ever played.” —Syd_barrows, iOS App Store
