5 Days - Demo
CW: Depression, Self Harm, Death
Dives deep into the complex and raw reality of grief. Immerse in a world where loss lingers in every corner, and choices shape not only your path but also your emotional healing.
Every step forward feels like another memory slipping through your fingers and yet, the world moves on — forcing you to find a way to follow, even when it feels impossible to let go.
"She's gone, will you let go?"
— THIS VISUAL NOVEL IS AN ALPHA PROTOTYPE!
I'm dipping my toes in solo game dev. At current stage the story is very short, there is only one incomplete ending (others are just loops). If enough people are interested and support me, I will continue the development.
Any reviews with feedback are very appreciated :)

I love the weight and atmosphere you've conjured through each day loop and the rooms and choices. I agree with everyone, the illustrations are fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more :)
The character art for this was extremely well done. I felt like the story's depiction of the grief cycle was really spot on. Really excited to see where you take this.
Very deep
Loved it
oof it hurts right in my meow meow 3: lovely demo author ! <33
gorgeous artstyle. the simple and short dialogues actually hit home harder because the way they are. can i give you a hug?
Thank you! I'm glad it wasn't to short, I can give you a hug :)
I absolutely love your art and the atmosphere of this demo, even though it's just a couple rooms it's dripping with melancholy and apathy, and the line about sleeping so much that you feel nauseous is so real. I'd definitely play a whole game out of this little concept.
Oh I'm glad the game was able to convey the feelings to you! tysm for playing!
Playing games for the finish your game jam!
I have to say, gorgeous artwork. It conveys the story you are trying to tell perfectly. I think that you could almost play the game without the dialogue and still really understand what is happening.
There's some artifacting when the images load in, I'm not sure if that's an intentional choice, or an issue caused by loading high res images without prerendering them. I'm not sure exactly how renpy works, but if it isn't, I'm wondering if there's a solution you could find to make them a little smoother.
You really have an amazing art style! Thanks for submitting!
Thank you for playing!
Hm I think it's might be because the img is to big for browser game, I will definitely keep this in mind when continue developing the game!
this is so cool!! i feel like this captures grief well and the graphics are amazing
Thank you! I'm glad you think so :)
