"Beautiful multimedia nonlinear zombie game in grim world."
- Mathbrush
"A complete work that is both grounded, visceral, and epic and has things to say about the cyclical nature of life, death, change, and mortality."
- Hanon Ondricek
"If you come to IF largely focused on the interactivity, this one might not be for you, but if the fiction side looms larger for you, there might not be a better game in the Comp."
- Mike Russo

I love January's relationship with Cat. It's just...chef's kiss. And Cat being a little shit was wholesome~
Utterly beautiful. I am at a loss for words to descibe the specific feeling this story gives me. its something between meloncholy and contentment.
Thanks so much. Really glad you enjoyed reading, and I think you captured the intended mood of the game perfectly.
