❝  would you choose me... ❞

i’ve heard it said that love is a thread
woven through destiny. to experience
an inescapable pull—a free fall
into sun-dappled bedsheets, 
intertwined caresses,
gossamer whispers.

i’ve heard it said that love is a tapestry
woven from memories. experiences of
a quiet comfort—a haven
of sun-soaked bedsheets, 
interlaced caresses, 
silken whispers. 

i’ve experienced that love:
sun-dappled bedsheets into sun-soaked,
intertwined caresses into interlaced,
gossamer whispers into silken.

what i would do to experience that love
with you again—to follow this string
into the next life, with you by my side.

if i did,
would you come with me?

 ❝ ...in every lifetime? ❞

A recurring dream. A flash of deja vu. An undeniable connection. Some say these are remnants of our past lives—echoes of the memories we’ve made in centuries past. When I ran into you on that fateful day…

I started to believe them.

It is truly the best story game I have ever played. It teaches a lot about how you will always find happiness in the end with unwavering determination. This is one of the only games that genuinely had me emotional. A 10/10 is not enough to describe how amazing this game is; it is truly on another level! Thank you for sharing this story with us.

I AM CRYING 😭😭😭 I can't explain my feelings. This game is so IMPRESSIVE. 

I'M UGLY CRYING. I LOVE IT SO MUCH o(TヘTo)

Thank you for reminding me that I can be happy in the end. (and how alone i am)

After the comment about propose... I need it too. I thought that this game has not endings, it just goes straight, and now I see it??? I NEED IT

the game is complete and has a full ending! if you haven't unlocked all images in the gallery, you haven't finished the game. there should be an animation on the title screen that signals what you need to click to continue the story---there's also a walkthrough linked on the game page if you need more help :) 

I freaking love it!!!! I cried when I got to the part where Van proposes. Like after all the lives, we will have a happy ending.

This is absolutely amazing

you should make a genderbend version vans fem name would be vanessa and it could make the lesbians/bi girlies happy

(+1)(-1)

The game was amazing! I love the reincarnation concept and how he always would choose the MC in every lifetime even if MC rejected him, even if they were enemies, even if they were separated. I love Van so much, I legit almost cried at the backstory. I love Van's voice! The voice actor did a splendid job! The art was amazing, fell in love with the CGS and THE PROPOSAL SCENE HAD ME SCREAMING IN JOY. More people need to play this and if a DLC is ever made, I will rush to buy/download the DLC. I love this so much. Did I mention how much I loved this game?

That was a reaally beautiful game. The art was absolutely gorgeous and it was just everything you'd want from a story that carries so much yearning. Thank you for introducing us to Van <3

This is such a heartaching game it really tugs at your heartstrings, and everything was so beautiful. Truly a wonderful game to play.

such a beautiful game

soo intertwine was beautiful.. The amount of detail and work put into it is unbelievable and the story was so well written! Words cannot describe how amazing it was to play through :)  The whole script was poetry and Van has my heart now :))

Is there only 2 photos you get in the gallery?

(+1)(-1)

Ye idk how to get more and idk if is a demo or not?

(+1)

hi both! sorry for the late reply lol. if you only have two photos in the gallery, it means you haven't finished the game (it's completed, not a demo!). there should be an animation on the title screen that signals what you need to click to continue the story. if you still need help, there's a walkthrough posted on the game page as well!

This game was Absolutely stunning! the art was beautiful, the story was phenomenal and i loved how the protag aka the person you play as was so iconic. Not to mention it was just all put together so nicely and the game dynamics flowed so well. Also the way you can use your scroll wheel to go back was just *chefs kiss*. And don't even get me started on Van! My GOD he is both adorable AND hot/attractive/stunning/wonderful/yes. And to call his voice buttery in the team credits is so accurate!  200,00/10 could play this game countless times, as both entertainment and as a pick me up/feel good.

absolutely BEAUTIFUL game. I love how all their past lives are connected, even by small references of jokes and words they've shared. the yearning I felt in my heart hurt but in a good way! def one of my faves c:

This was so cute and had me out here feeling Hozier levels of yearning <3

Oh to have an artist bf :)

100/10! WHOLESOME

everything about this game is beautiful <3 made me so emotional thank you for letting me experience this :)

Not finished yet but I'm sitting here just sobbing with my whole soul. God damnit this game is so beautiful and sweet and heartbreaking.

edit: finished it and still sobbing because that ending was so so so beautiful. 10000/10 I will be playing this a million times.

im so confused was rhe ending them looking at the meteor shower ?

what a lovely game :( beautifully written and GOD is van amazing shdsjdsk <3<3

The writing was beautiful! The fact that I felt such a sense of longing is insane. I hope the best for the little duo.

love it!!!

The main menu OST brought me to my knees because bro WHATTT, the game is absolutely amazing, I was in awe at everything, the theme was absolutely amazing!

This game is so wonderful. My heart melts. The last time i can remember i felt like this when reading/experiencing this kind of love is in junior high school, when i'm literally the most hopeless romantic person in my class haha. I cried twice in some scenes, the symbolism, meanings, and wordings is gorgeous. Thank you so much!

hermoso juego a la vergaaaaaaaaa

just finished the game and oh my word its fantastic. It was an emotional ride and I couldn't be happier with how well the ending brought the whole journey together.

(+2)

just finished it, even in this life I loved him. I was confused at first but the way the ending truly tied it together was amazing.great job to everyone who worked on this!!!

(+1)

WTF Haven't even played the game yet and the main menu OST shocked me, it's so good! Extremely catchy and the lyrics are adorable...! Looking through all the comments, I can't wait and I'm excited to play aaa

(+2)

THAT WAS SO GOOD!!!! i was so emotional doing this whole playthrough this game is so amazing i wanna cry

(+2)

The way the story continues with the knot in the start screen is novel, and the knot turns red! I love the idea of reincarnation and soul mates, and it's not like soul mates have to be together, but it's nice to be together in the end! It's also great that a lot of the earlier scenes are echoed later on!

(+2)

I think it was impressive how they tied up every lose end, every dumb joke, eery bad pickup line. This was an experience I don't think I can forget. Thank you. 

(+3)

I just finished it! (I'm crying I wish this was real...😭)

(+2)

This...It made me realize that feeling too!...It's weird though..But anyways, this is a work of art the most beautiful game I've ever seen! Rate: ♾️/5
