Ratings and reviews

(Spoiler of the game) I think I never saw a game like that before. It's to emotional to describe in words, he passed away today, and now I finally got the sense of all this... It's perfect. Ty for this amazing experience, the graphics, the conversations, the patience, the soundtrack, completely amazing. This messes your mind, I never saw a game doing it. One day, I'll be read and I'll restart again with my new bff. Tysm for everyone who did this game, congratulations for the perfect job. ♡

One of the best games I've played! You get to be friends (or best friends) with a parrot and name it (which is optional) and you get to feed it oranges, make memories like: making music, creating a poem, talking or chatting about life and you can say anything (choose what you want to say; you have 2 options) even though its abit limited, it's worth it! I honestly love it and I hope I get to experience more stuffs aswell. The sad thing is that it's not the full version and I can't get it.

I finished the free trial and am not sure whether to purchase the full version. The trial felt pretty surface level and I'm not sure what "progress" means in the game since it moves so slowly. It seems that after purchase the end is abrupt on an already slow game. I'd probably purchase an "extended" version which drags the game out for several months to a year. Very beautiful graphics.
