aeguioaehgieagha I adore this game so much <33
I AM SOBBING omfg i feel way too mutch like melody and ngl i relate to her a bit too mutch , ngl i feel like i needed to hear these words even if from a game . a short but emotional mini game 😖😖🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is completely random, but I just got soft box lights and I've been using them instead of my normal lights because they are so much more of a vibe and chill. Using them reminded me of this game, it truly was great. Hope you're doing well and taking care!
Omg what a cutie game
A really simple concept that was executed in a beautiful manner. The art style is breathtaking, and the various music tracks are heartfelt and soulful. It was a little shorter than even I expected, and I feel could have had a tad more development, but the characters were built to feel 3D enough within such a short span of time that it’s frankly quite impressive. The devs really latched on to how little parts of us are reflected in our everyday environment, and the emotional resonance and anchoring of the memories they hold. A brilliant, heart-warming and grounded game <3

This game truly is just, a lot of emotions in one. I usually talk a lot but this game really gave me the chance to sit down, be quiet, and read + think for a little bit. Thank you for making this game, I appreciate it and I'm sure a lot of others do too.

OMG i needed this game ! thank you so mutch <3
Clearly a love story/jk /(sr)
i really the name of this game. "off day", carries a double meaning, first it's an off day, a break. Melody is taking a break from work and the world at large is taking a break (not really but you get the idea). but off day is something a lot people use to describe depressed days, a day where you're just- off, skewed. But that in it of itself has another implication, when you have depression it's like your entire world is "off", but as you get better it turns from a rough life, to a rough month, to eventually just a rough day. life isn't as bleak as it used to be, now it's an "off day", a rarity, a anomaly. It shows how much Melody has grown, clearly she's struggled with depression, but it's getting better. She has people now, a job and an apartment, her problems are scary but they're not so big anymore. But that doesn't stop her from having these "off days", she's still struggling, healing isn't linear but she's making it work with some help along the way. I really like Juniper too, and i liked the way she was fleshed out. She's perceptive and seems like shes so prepared for everything, but it's clear she's got some problems going on in her life, the line about "You know how my family is" implies that this has been a point of contention in the past, someone has probably fought with her because she couldn't prioritise them over her family. Just something I wondered about. Also, as a Vietnamese person seeing the name Bánh Bao made me squeal :D
I love this game so much. I remember doing exact same things when I was depressed. I found this game when I am no longer depressed, but i still love this game. Thank you si much for making it
The games here really do impress me day by day, In the start and half of the game, I was already amazade, but in the last part, jeez. You know, it showed us that is important and cool to apreaciitte things, but even like this, we all have issues, and sometimes we just can cry, but that, as the game showed us, shouldnt make us feel guilty nor it means that we are not grateful. Sometimes it just hits, and althought it is recommended to ALWAYS move on, it is okay to give our mind the time and just give that big cry, Deal with feelings is too much important to be a functional human being.
this game really makes me understand, and how to get over my depprison and anxiety.. mabye the little things in life are always the best things:)
This game made me think of a new way to live life
