Asya has been the most damningly relatable character I've ever seen, coming so close to my own lived experience and outlook on life I developed at that age it's scary. As her mental state gets worse, the circumstances that led to her outlook on life become more apparent, and she slips so far past the coping mechanisms I'm familiar with to deal with those things, the more mortified I've become. Just thank you, to you and your entire team. It's rare to be this deeply affected by a work of art.

I finished chapter 2 last night, this game is INCREDIBLE. Asya is a great protagonist and the story went sonewhere I never would've expected it to. Definitely going to be picking up the extra art.

Honestly i feel like i wasnt smart enough to get everything the game was trying to convey, there are things i just dont have a good explanation for and a few questions i cant answer at all. But what an incredible journey it has been. Amazing work!!

I found your music again after 7 years and found out you were coming out with this a couple weeks ago. I only just got it 2 days ago and I have a little time to read through much everyday after work but honestly this is so well done with the ambiance, art and overall story, this has quickly become one of my all time favorites, thank you for all your hard work and pray that you make more ❤

It just clicked in my head what the title means... And i was trying so hard to decipher it this whole time... 😭 (or at least maybe a different interpretation?) Being fluent in Russian helps sometimes guys

I'm only halfway in the game cuz I don't really have a lot of free time past couple of days, but everything I saw for now was super cool. The OST is beautiful and the art is really pretty, overall I absolutely loved playing this game. Can't wait to beat it on a weekends! Oh, and l'm buying this Art Pack for sure)

i have finished it a few hours ago. that was really captivating. i actually wanted to write my own story before that and it only intensified that desire im from middle volga region (though i just checked, the wiki says its actually upper?? weird but i guess its not set in stone. doesnt really matter) and grew up in the city that is beside it, with tall pine forest on the other side of the Volga. its a place that haunts my soul but in a good way like a greatest meal ive ever ate would. i wanna write a story about a children summer camp. i dont know what its about. i only know that it will end in a big forest fire, in the pine woods. pine is a pyrophyte, it means that its more immune to fires, thats how pine forests survive. pine loves the sun, so it grows as tall as it can, trying to steal some sunshine from other pines, competing for it. while fir tree is content with the shadow pine casts upon it. though it grows tall nonetheless: its a greedy tree. so it grows taller and taller, eventually surpassing the pine, eventually killing it. before you know it there is no pine forest. even though its a very slow process, i doubt a lot of people pay their mind to it. thats how plant community succession sometimes happen. unless there is a fire. fir, as you might guess, burns, but the pine stands tall despite it. you can see the burn marks: beautiful orange bark turns black

Also I know it’s probably super low priority but trading cards and wallpapers and emotes and stuff would be super cool at some point. Achievements too!

I love the game so far, but I think adding a glossary would be nice, since most people who read the novel are probably unfamiliar with Russian culture in general and soviet culture in particular... Like I'm Russian but I imagine many things and references would be hard to grasp without the cultural context. I also missed some things because I'm not very good with history, lol (shame on me) So it could look something like what they did in Clannad with dangopedia where they explain stuff like food, events and cultural stuff and you can access it through menu or by hovering over a term with the cursor. Similar things are also in Steins Gate and Hakuoki. Of course that's a lot of work so I don't insist on you doing it. I probably could make a mod if I have the time and patience. I just think it would lower the barrier of entry for non-Russian speaking audiences!
