Outstanding atmosphere, mood, visuals, sound ... but tragically-brief. Still, this stands out as one of the most memorable LD entries I've ever played.
I've seen two different endings -- are there more?
Solid little adventure game. What was used to make it?
Hmmm, that was an interesting game - it makes you think.
I really like the graphics, and the general theme that you proposed in your adventure. I like how information come little by little, and you learn different things based on which path you take.
That said, there was a host of little things that made me enjoy the game a bit less.
First (and least) of all fullscreen: Games should behave and stay in their own window, unless I give them permission to use the whole screen.
Secondly, if you complete the game, and try to start a new one (to see another path), you will actually be returned to the last screen of the previous game - you need to close and reopen the game to try different choices.
Finally, the dialogue of the "family" tree is pretty good, but the dialogue of the "you are important to me" tree is kinda confusing.
The game is impressive. I love this romantic motif of being lonely and surrounded by the technology (it reminds me works of Stanislaw Lem [0]). Graphics and sounds are obviously great, they fit perfectly into your story (I really liked the walking animation).
Beautiful art, stunning atmosphere. Too short but it's LD so... I'd love to see a longer game based on this universe. The game doesn't show a lot but it suggests so much more !
Wow that was a blast, Even if the game content is only one room, You did so much with it. You have a great sense of storytelling. Just one little bug, the breathing sound is staying after you finish the game. So if you want to replay ( which I of course did ) the breathing sound is still here and ruin the mood. I had to restart game.
Wow. One of the most finished games I've seen. Love the LucasArts adventure game art style and the animation. But most of all those gorgeous backgrounds.
The story itself was interesting. I really wanted to know why she's there. Also, Rain is a pretty cool name :).
The atmosphere is amazing. I'm not sure how "gamey" this is, but it's an impressive achievement either way for 48 hours. I'd love to see a full adventure game in this sort of style/setting. Great job!
Very, very cool. Pulled into this by the 10s video. Moody. Amazing art. Controls are a little wonky - would get caught on stuff, wasn't sure what I could interact with. Keep working on this. I want to keep playing it!
Your graphics, audio, and text coalesced into a grand unified science fiction. If you continue to develop this, I was a bit lost and so a bit let down as to what had happened. For me, a few threads of the story seemed unexplained. Was this a simulation of a human that was speaking? Who was the father? Why is he significant? In this context, what is God?
The graphics and sound/music were fantastic in this, and created a very coherent mood that I enjoyed immensely (and it was science fiction, which will always win me over!). The story was interesting, but was held back by the vagueness of the writing. The choices didn't carry the weight they should have because the relationships were not built up (specifically with the AI and your father) and the context was never made clear. With that said, there is some clear potential here, and I'd love to see you develop it further!
Full marks here, this is fantastic, I would love to see it expanded some also, great use of the 48 hours - all the art and music and mood and such is lovely.

Thanks for the game! I enjoyed it!
Sadly, I didn't get it to run on a decent resolution and had to use magnification. Going to try it at home later.
