This is such a nice, soft, gentle game that didn't take too long to play. I really appreciate how straightforward and kind it is. The underwater maps are beautiful and I love the character designs as well. An all around lovely game, thank you for making it.
Once again phenomenal game Nami I wish i could support you on patreon and actually pay for these games cause you deserve it!!!!! Playing this game gave me something to do during these boring times XD I use too feel the same way i felt that living here on earth wasn't worth anything but thats in the past. Thank you for making this game!!!! Cant wait for the next Treat game. Will it be out by the end of this year or out sometime next year? But dont rush it a late game is always a better game!!! :)
will there be a mac version? I really love your games, I have all the clean ones (my parents wont let me get the others), but I can't play lonely wolf treat, or any of the windows only games. please, please make a mac version for these games.
I loved playing this game. It was super cute and fun while also being very emotional and sympathetic when dealing with this topic. I really enjoyed myself!
wow, this hit me right at home!! great pixel art, great music, and the writing!! to put me in tears after a 30 minute game is quite the accomplishment. well done!!
This is a beautiful game, Nami. It makes me want to cry because I can relate to Maia and how she doesn't expect everything. This game is perfect, I'm tickled!
Coucou ! Je suis en train de travailler sur la traduction française :) Je dois encore la relire soigneusement et l'envoyer à Nami, mais ta patience sera récompensée ! Le guide du jeu, qui contient aussi des illustrations, des croquis et des secrets, etc. sera aussi traduit normalement ! :)
Such an adorable story!! I need to stop myself from making fanart for your characters- 😅 anyways great story and I'm so happy to have played this new game :3
youre game always make me put a smile on my face its just ;) i love them, i wish you the power to make more of them , till next i will try to help you how much i can , luv ya all ;3
Thank you so much for creating this :) I really enjoyed playing it & like how you left the circumstances surrounding Maia open to the player's interpretation. I think you managed the "show, don't tell" aspect well!
Also, thank you for sharing about the development process of this game - I can see you put a lot of effort into your games and your story about burnout/feeling guilty resonated with me. Hope you're feeling much better now and looking forward to your future games (no stress tho & take care!) ^^
I really enjoyed this game! all of your games deal with some issues like in this one, and I find it kinda comforting :) I hope you continue to make more games like these!
This game is beautiful, just like all the rest that you've made. I always really enjoy the game that you create, and the symbolizim behind them. I hope you keep going with this, and that you have a great day. :)
You've got a knack for making really loveable characters without telling us too much about them. You showed us just enough of Maia's feelings about her life in the human world (or above water anyway, not sure if this takes place in the same world as your other games so maybe I can't call it the human world), that we can easily fill in the blanks as to what she's been through - it hits close to home without getting dark (though the subtext is pretty dark), which is a tough balance to hit, and I think you nailed it.
I totally understand all the people saying they want more of this. These characters are good, but I think it also stands on its own. Good stuff. Really enjoyed it.
This game was absolutely adorable~! I love it so much. I was crying and laughing and yelling...you sent me on a emotional mini-coaster. Thank you so much for making this game, and I look forward to more of your works!
I Watched This From a YouTube Channel (Its BakuWashu, Shout out To Him) and Immediately Check if its out. This Is Pretty Good! Oh and I heard you're continuing the series! Goodluck!
I downloaded as soon as I found out there was a new game and that was so cute!!
I liked getting to do the little side interactions like scavenging for the seashells, seeing the sardine wear the tiara i gave her was the best thing!!
And I was wondering if there's any chance we'll get more backstory for Maia someday? but honestly, if it's a oneshot i still think this was really worth the playthrough ^^
This game was so wholesome and pleasant!!! Thank you for making this, Nami. The ending really cheered me up, which has become more and more unusual lately. So thank you. :)
This was super duper cute, I'll be looking at your other games to try out here soon! It did feel a bit too short, I really wanted to see more of these characters.
**spoilers**
As a person who both experiences and fears rejection in a pretty extreme way, I felt the trench section/ending represented what it really feels like when those things come to a head. Good job. :)
This was adorable! I want friends under the sea... :(
One thing I really appreciate in this game is the small details that bring the world and characters more into life. An example of this would be examining objects Cilo's home and Am's home shows a bit more detail about what their habits and personalities are like, which helps flesh them out more as characters! There's a couple more examples of this but I won't spoil for those who want to see for themselves. :)
I made a video with my commentary and experiences. Keep up the great work!
thank you for the honest feedback! i think you're right in that i left too much up to the imagination... specifically with the reason maia wants to stay underwater--i decided not to specify the details because i thought the exact reasons aren't necessarily what matters? just her feelings about it. i left it up to people to fill in the blanks with whatever made sense to them based on what was presented (like in the trench) BUT it seems like that approach doesn't work for everyone...
the response i hear over and over with my games is that people want to see more, so i think i just need to work harder to make sure i put in enough by the end. i'll definitely keep this stuff in mind for the next one. thank you for playing, and for taking the time to write all this!

yeah it's just a oneshot! but if people are interested i might do a short comic about that :) thanks for playing!
I loved it so much that I had to feature it as the first ever game on my youtube channel. Enjoy!
This game was so wholesome and pleasant!!! Thank you for making this, Nami. The ending really cheered me up, which has become more and more unusual lately. So thank you. :)
