AHHH! I js got finished this game, It was rlly good! The blood was subtle but noticeable and the first scene gave me a bit of a spook. Good game overall, Im sure if you're reading this and u haven't played this, you'll enjoy it
thank you for making this, i was searching for my childhood 2d game and found this. it always hits me when a character says something like " you'd rather live in a cruel and loveless world than be happy with me?" and every time i think to myself " I know love is real because i am real and im full of it." thank you for this reminder. the love is worth the pain
Отличная игра, на некоторых моментов действительно хочется отойти на пару минут и подумать о том чтобы сделал ты? ушел бы ты в рай ради снов или продолжил жить настоящию серую жизнь? вообщем действительно хорошо, нет слов
i played this game some time ago, and honestly this game is one of my favorites. not only is the art amazing, but the game itself is just beautiful!! it really shows how dark life can be and i myself can connect with lera, that feeling of hopelessness and disconnection from the world. i really love her character, along with nika, and the two of them have easily found their way into my heart. nika is just so adorable i feel so bad for her!! (╥﹏╥)

this game is so beautiful, it addresses many aspects between death and life, suffering and living and the certainty of not wanting to die but rather stop suffering.
The game is a complete metaphor from beginning to end. 10/10
I liked this. It truly showed the ugly side of life is haunting but so ethereal and indulgent and you can set free. I truly think this was really thought out. The story is awesome! Please just clarify how to save ToT
you go to some parts of the places until you go through a dark door or fall through a hole. I'm not too exactly sure where youre up to in the game but maybe this will help? If it doesnt I reccomend looking up a playthrough and skipping to the part where youre up to, to get through that specific room.
It's so interesting that in the "happy ending" when you check the menu, you see that Lera's portrait is missing. I don't know if it was intentional, but to me it seemed to symbolize the dissolution of her own identity into the fleshy hive mind necessary to achieve that kind of artificial happiness. This game was beautifully crafted, so much so I can imagine a movie version of Flesh, Blood, & Concrete with real life actors lol. I think regardless of background, a lot of people can relate to the idea of wanting to do anything to get away from pain, which makes Nika's arguments persuasive on the surface. But the sad reality is that the only way to have pleasurable happy experiences is to open yourself up to the possibility of displeasure and discomfort, at least sometimes. Also on a side note, it would have been so easy to make Nika the typical deceitful creepy child horror archetype. But the fact that Nika wholeheartedly believes the things she's saying because that's been her reality for decades and that's the way she's coped adds so much to the themes. The relationship between Lera and Nika is honestly one of the strongest elements of the game.
Hi. I made an account just to leave a review about this game. This is one of the best games I've played in a long time. At first, it's very deeply unsettling and as you play, you get this growing sense of dread that something bad is going to happen at any moment. I am not easily creeped out and gore/body horror has never bothered me, but there were undertones to this that were just viscerally uncomfortable in a way I can't quite describe. I should note that technically the content isn't that bad, but the way it's presented is done very well. Constant saving because I was prepared for literally anything. But as you play, the story gets deeper than that. Truly a beautiful game. I took the time to explore all possibilities for the game. There's a whole lot to unpack in this story and so much deep symbolism to it. I really love how it was done. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good, short game.
