Easy recommendation
If i had a nickel for every game with a dead loved one, a broken violin, poloroid, and a duet, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it is weird that it happened twice.

I think I'm way too sensitive and emotional when it comes to letting go of someone, I mean, who doesn't?

Better than expected
We often hear motivational things as children like "Follow your dreams." or "You can be anything you want to be." But eventually we learn that sometimes all we can dream about is someone who is gone, and all we want to be is near them again. When time starts skipping like a needle across an old record, and your brain just can't handle the blank space that suddenly appeared. As you go on with life but any little thing can suddenly send your mind rushing back. It could be a ringing phone, a glimpse of someone from the corner of your eye, a book on the table, or maybe just a few notes of a song, and that someone is real again, for a second. Like waves pushing you back. Unsteady on your feet for a moment, then you move on. This game is about someone navigating that bittersweet space between the joy of being with someone you love, and learning to live without it. A story about being in the present, but struggling with another time. A time When The Past Was Around.
