Great short story - though quite heavy. I found myself thrust into the shoes of a woman who felt like she should be happy and grateful for what she had, but instead was without any emotional support and surrounded by shitty toxic relationships with no way out and crumbling under the pressure of it all. Beautifully told.
On the living room, go to the dirt spot in the center of the room and press space :) -- The dirt spot should be highlighted with a black border when you're close.
Vengo de jugarthe red strings club, juego con el que ya me dejasteis impresionado. Y ahora al probar este juego siento que porfín tengo un estudio indie al que seguir cada juego que saquen. Creo que sois de lo mejor.
En sí este juego me ha hecho cambiar mi forma de ver las amas de casa como mi madre. Me parece que lo tratais de una forma muy realista y que involucra al jugador de una manera que pocos juegos han conseguido. Creo que es un juego que debería probar cualquier persona, sobretodo de sexo masculino como yo, para que sepa que es lo que se siente en esta posición en la que no puedes practicamente hacer nada. Es por este estilo de obras que amo el medio de los videojuegos. Gracias por tanto, perdón por tan poco.
Oh jeez, this was something else. I hopped right in expecting it to be a quirky little housewife simulator, maybe a few jokes here and there about stereotypes and the like...
But instead I was thrust headfirst into a reality of crushing depression and a constant feeling of being on edge and being judged by everyone and surrounded by people who have absolutely no idea how damaged I am on the inside.
I was blown away by this, and there were genuinely some moments I felt personally attacked by what Victorine's family members were saying to her. I'm sure I'm not the only person who burrowed into this game who deals with depression, but of course that's a situation that everyone handles differently... however this game does a wonderful job of putting the feeling right into the very depths of your mind.
I left this game a changed person, and I still don't know if I'm ever going to recover from it. Anyone who hasn't experienced this game yet needs to change that right now!
Keep up the always amazing work everyone, this was outstanding.
Hello ! I'm a new french videomaker who make reviews of indie games and free games like this one. But I have to review only games which can be understand by french people. Did you plan to add some translation ? If yes, I can give your my support and some of my time to translate every text in french ! This is a game french people should play to understand the struggle of being a housewife/houseman, really. Plus, it's free to it can reach even more people ! Let me know if you're interested !
Holy shit, this felt so personal. I struggle with depression myself and sometimes I was picturing myself instead of Victorine. Great game but I will never play this again.
Este título es sencillamente increíble, me encantó como plasmaron la realidad de muchas personas de una manera muy íntima y el apartado gráfico con vista isométrica es simplemente hermoso.
I would rate this interesting. I did find one bug, were the first time you can enter the studio, you can do the dishes whilest standing next to the writing table at the right.
Muy interesante, sorprende la profundidad del tema cuando lo intuyes. Creo que habéis conseguido hacer un juego interesante a pesar de que el tema de la jam no gustaba a mucha gente.
Es curioso, en mi caso daba prioridad a la limpieza sobre la cocina. Supongo que prefería que pensaran que la casa estaba limpia a que cocinaba bien jajajaja.
Por cierto, ¿cuándo va a volver Jordi a Murcia? La charla que dio fue muy inspiradora y le queremos otra vez por aquí :D
This was a really smart and emotional game. I'm very slow to pick up on mechanics, but once I realized how you were adjusting the space in the room based on the tasks I chose to do throughout the day, I was like "damn, that's sooooo smart". You convey emotion better than most games I've played.

u made me cry
Oh my, that ending! I couldn't have been more shocked! I literally couldn't move for some minutes.
A masterpiece, totally a masterpiece. for sure.
BTW, I'm also surprised to see many people try to cry in front of the husband...
What a great game, keep up the good work!
Great game! Thank you so much for sharing it.

The way space is used to convey meaning is absolutely brilliant, fantastic job, all of you, the art style, the music, the writing...
Really good, congrats!
This hit me in so many levels, ended up crying. Absolutely awesome game, Deconstructeam giving us powerful and deep experiences as always!
Can someone help me? I can't figure out how to dust!
On the living room, go to the dirt spot in the center of the room and press space :) -- The dirt spot should be highlighted with a black border when you're close.
Thank you so much! I didnt even realize that was dust, I thought it was just a puddle, thanks!
Hey guys! I'm a fan of your previous works, cheers :) Can you please tell me if this one will be eventually released on Mac OS?
i started to play all deconstructeam game
nice game
Un título muy profundo con una temática muy personal e íntima, me ha encantado muchísimo.
Acá dejo la review que le hice: https://retroorama.blogspot.com/2018/11/indie-review-behind-every-great-one.html
Honestly this broke my heart. I've been in relationships very toxic like this and it's so horrible.
This game maybe hit too close to home for me. Anyway it was super good, really enjoyed it! Made a video, hope you enjoy!
Very powerful stuff, nice job. I wonder why she chose to marry him in the first place. -Grey
Very short game, but so powerful.
So relateable.

The world needs more games like this. Top.

Hi! I would really like to try this game but it does not seem to work with Apple :( (or maybe I'm just really bad with this stuff)
Is there something I can do to make it work? Beside buying another computer lol
Thanks so much <3
it's only for Windows. In Apple doesn't work
Now you have the HTML version to play directly via web :)
Sell the overpriced and bad computer and buy a good Windows one.

Maravilloso ejemplo de cómo los videojuegos pueden no ser solo un pasatiempo. Os felicito por la obra artística que habéis creado.
Absolutely loved it! Great work ppl! Love your games!
Great game.
Me ha encantado, dios mio, es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado después del the red strings club, cuánto talento teneis!

Well, that ended rather abruptly. I do think it's brilliant though. I legitimately felt the pressures of being a housewife. That's a new one!

Love the art style. The atmosphere, the mood, so depress...
Good game.
This game made me tear up. I got seriously emotional!
Oh my god. This left me speechless.
Thank you for making it.
A sad and angry game.
Well done :)
