Interesting game, with great artstyle and ambience. The music is perfect and fits every scene. This is the perfect lengh for a game/experience like this, so thanks for making it :)
Great game; I love the distinctive art style of this game; it definitely has a feel of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk, not only in colour palette but how we - as the narrator/disembodied voice can actually interact with Sara. It was definitely an interesting playthrough, I had a lot of fun and I really liked the Reminiscence.

Beautiful visuals and I like the interactive elements too! I think the parts where you're made to keep your cursor inside of the light areas of the screen are really effective - lovely touch.
Hey there, I'm the main creator of Labyrinth is a Straight Line. I just wanted to drop by because I just finished your entry for Spooktober and... not gonna lie, I got chills from all the accidental similarities from both our entries. Not just from the train setting but also the struggles with mental illness (and inspiration from Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk), or how BG-centric the story was - and I loved your BGs by the way. ...Also the plotwist with the empty train and the oddity with the doors (just where the heck we got both our inspirations from?! It just can't be so similar, goddamn...)
So yeah. It kind of made me feel it's a shame we didn't work together (and a bit scared)... In any case, great entry. I'm a Spanish native speaker too. Btw, you did it all yourself? Crazy load of work for one person, mujer. Major kudos.
Woahh, really :0? Gotta try yours then to give it a check. My main inspirations are (and always will be) Yume Nikki, MGS and Silent hill for... almost everything I create hehe.
Yup yup, I am a solo dev (also an spanish not native speaker heh), thanks for the compliments on that regarding<3
That's crazy! Silent Hill was my main inspiration for this particular project! Do you know the SilentHill-inspired game Post Trauma? It looks so promising, and it starts inside a subway, which is similar to a train somehow...? Maybe that's how we both got here, if you watched/played that. I don't know, I'm trying to find an explanation because I am not lying when I say the similarities give me the chills. Not related but, I'm also a fan of Yume Nikki (particularly the twist end, even if Madoka Magica does it better).Anyway, pleased to meet you.
This felt so unique and how the story was framed was very beautiful. The effects, sounds and animation all worked together very well. LOVED the choice effect of the (I think??) tv effect. There's something about one of the scenes that gave me a bit of nostalgia of watching the flash animation cutscenes from Homestuck. Really cool experience overall!
The color pallete reminding me of course of one of my favorite vn's of all time, milk inside a bag of milk! The theme of the game hit's home as I have had a personal experience with loss and taking care of someone who slowly loses himself, I have to say it hit home, the story is profound but leaves you with hope at the end and I appreciate that.
The art was fantastic, the music appropriate and the effects were very interesting and well executed!

Overall a great game!
This game was gorgeous! Big fan of the color palette. And what a beautiful story! The presentation of everything felt so cinematic. Very nicely done!
Thank you, the palette is composed of my favourite colour 7-7.
Thanks again!<3
