I just found you from your grindr game, and I am so glad I did. This was utterly captivating. The concept, the atmosphere; every piece of dialogue said so much with so little. Thank you for making this, and thank you for sharing it.
GOD, THE POIGNANCY... It's so thick, I love it. I love this little story, I love its funny little moments, and I especially love its more hard-hitting moments. Just, a lot of feelings!! A LOT OF REGRETFUL, MISERABLE, ANGUISHED FEELINGS, alongside the idea that, that's not everything. The idea that this, in particular, really sucks. It sucks to suck. It, really sucks to suck, doesn't it.
And all of the writing alongside the visuals and audio... IT ALL FITS TOGETHER TO MAKE A REALLY POWERFUL LITTLE STORY. Huge, huge fan of the pauses, personally... I'm, addicted to stuff like that. It's so good. I love it.
Whoa, thank you so much, that means a lot to me. I've gotta go invite a few more people I admire to the bundle but let me know if you need anything. Good luck!
I wouldn't call this a game, more of a short low-interaction visual story, and a very good one at that: art style, dialogues, characterisation, the whole process of worldbuilding that can be made out by the events, everything was captivating.
I was already imagining cryo and then a post-organic-body brain/cyborg that maybe volunteers for space/underwater/arctic life/science in all sorts of bodies.I was thinking about bioreactors (and similar) too.
that'd be awesome! there's a lot of sci-fi about bodymorphing to fit different conditions (To Be Taught If Fortunate and Trigaea come to mind) but it's usually about adapting to alien planets. would love to see more earth-centric stuff like this
thank you! i do love this little world so i might make more things in this universe. possibly in the form of a prequel where we see more of the wasters

i wasn't sure if the game froze, was waiting for me to do something or if that was it. but I really liked it anyway
i'm glad you liked it! there's a few long pauses in the game, particularly before the end
Bautiful and haunting. I love you, Waste Eater.
aaa thank you!! <3

Great writing. Loved the twist at the end. Possible sequel maybe?

A beautiful existential game. Full of wonders and melancholic hope for the future.
thank you so much! <3
Impressive atmospheric game that does a lot with a little + incredible style and art + great writing. Can’t wait for what’s next, cain!!
thanks so much for the lovely comment and for taking the time to check this out <3
That was a fun experience! Well... a moving experience. Awesome work!
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it :)
This need to be a universe like a series or something
I do not like hating rich dudes but this game is very cool
i like the art style of this game its looks amazing
the art was definitely 90% of the effort. so glad you like it!
visual novel style games are kind of un touched genre of games
An equally cynical and heartful communion here with an evocative setting. Love the art and bustling nature sounds. Very well done!
thank you so much!! really appreciate the kind comment <3
