Explore the life of an old woman through memories and music!

  • Touch objects and trigger memories connected to them. 
  • Play a butterfly-catching game to decide which memory you'll keep.
  • Each object corresponds to a music line, and all objects together make a little symphony!
  • Each memory is different, and so is the musical instrument and melody attached to it - so there are 32 possible life symphonies.
  • Please play with Sound ON :)

It was very interesting but it does get very boring very quick. Keep in mind, in the video, I was playing the game around 20 fps so it was difficult to click and hold on the butterfly. To the creators: I'm sorry I couldn't pay. 😓

Thanks for playing! 

It was meant to be a thought-provoking experience above anything else. Made for a game jam, too - so yeah it's a short game :) I hope you enjoyed it! As for FPS - tried to optimise it a bit, but looks like there's still space for improvement...

P.S. Your video is restricted, but I imagine it shows a lot of visual lags. From my experience, the UX is quite smooth while playing but once you start recording the screen, the lags are crazy. Have no idea why though.  

Yeah, the video was set to publish at 12pm PST and it's up now. Regarding the fps, it's because the game and obs take up A LOT of ram. The game definitely is thought-provoking and I hadn't thought of that when I was reviewing. If you want me to, I can try it again later without recording.
