I really liked this!! It's a very interesting interpretation of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale.
I like that the way to get the most hopeful ending is by having empathy for Celeste and not seeing her as a trophy. I hope that she and the MC will live a good life <3
The art is beautiful and I loved the detail of the snow (or fireflies? I'm not sure which of the two they are meant to be but it looks really pretty)!
Quite Somber tbh, and really shines a new light on the Sleeping Beauty kind of tale, where instead of the curse stopping time for all, Just the princess has it stopped.
It was an amazing story! I really loved the direction, be it the art, the GUI and even the music track! Everything was also programmed in so beautifully, the panning of the background, the darker variations and the sparkles were all beautiful. I also really enjoyed the monochromatic direction!
For the story itself, I truly appreciated the conflict portrayed here: we all know Sleeping Beauty as a tale, and we all mostly know the Disney adaptation lol, in which, magically enough, the whole kingdom falls asleep with her, so that she would find her family after her slumber. So I appreciated the grounded take the game offered, and how the various endings explored it, in its most optimistic and pessimistic tones.
Congrats on releasing this game, and thank you for sharing it!
Such an amazing way to enchant the reader with a short story! I really liked the little animation on her facial expressions and full body shot! You can really see a lot of emotion going through her, and a story that leaves us intrigued <33 so good!
I love that there's an option to just not wake her and end the game right there; it made me chuckle. Great story and deconstruction of the classic fairy tale setup, too! (A skip button for the replays would have been great though!)
This is really well made and effective, especially given the limitations! The images are simple but evocative, and the camerawork and shader give them extra life. Also the subtle music choice works super well. My only criticism would be the lack of a skip key, I know it's a short game but it still makes it harder to replay.
Amazing! Well done! A beautiful example of what you can make within limitations for game jams. And a great story and original concept, moving, I liked it a lot. Thank you for sharing :>

Brilliantly done! Got me thinking about how I'd react if I were in that situation and all my loved ones gone. Thank you for this beautiful game!

Short but Top Tier.
Oh I knew I was going to love this one as soon as I hit the title screen

What a nice short story that got me instantly hooked, it's nice imagining what happened to them. Everything else enhances it, so beautiful.

Ah, poor Celeste...
The game is very beautiful! The dark tones, music, and the animation... gotta love them all.
Love the purple and simplistic vibe of it! I also like how the second options event turn out.

NO CG

We're doomed
This was beautiful :>
I really liked it!
This is incredibly polished for something for such a minimalist jam! Very impressive.

Really cute art! I got all three endings, and I thankfully ended with the more hopeful one.
Fabulous concept with lovely art to match!
