This was a beautiful piece, and I think I was also feeling a lot of grief when I played this the first time.
For me, it played like an art film and the slow, building panic of realizing things were changing slowly, and then quickly made me choke a few times. I didn't notice right away, but when the merchant didn't come for a few days, I started wondering. I started exploring once the goats were gone, once the chickens were gone, but there really was nothing. For me, sitting on it later, it felt like a metaphor for tradition slowly giving away to a more poison world. I think it could have been the industrial revolution, or colonization, or just modernization vs. an old woman who's only ever known the one life.
Thank you for sharing this, and I hope it didn't get you down too much. <3
It did exactly what it was meant to, I think <3 I really appreciated experiencing it. I did wonder at the end, was I supposed to be collecting firewood? But no, there really was nothing left.
The letters were so unsettling, too, I keep thinking about what sort of cataclysm could have happened there, or was it a metaphor or, some players think, Talma's mental decline?
Such a heartbreaking narrative. Thank you again <3
