Grandma's Ghosts

Thanks for making me cry and thinking of my granny. great game. cute jokes. 

I cried. This hit SO much harder than I thought it would... I know that grandma isn't real, but for a moment I mourned her too. I became the main character for a bit, and getting that cookie recipe and talking about grandma's little quirks, remembering the little things just broke me and made me accept her death at the same time. Great game, loved the artstyle, I'm crying about the death of my fictional grandma.

This was a short but sweet game. The ending was simple and those words made me tear up. I enjoyed it very much:)

i loved this game so much, the dialog, the characters and the writing was amazing!

We need a Grandpa's ghosts where you look for a fishing pole ;) 

It's good story though a little sad.

wow my grandma died when i was 3 and i saw her die in the hospital i remember the screams i let out the tear drops a few weeks passed and i was depressed my mom new i was because i would always lock myself in my room and go on my ipod i had an ipod my grandma gave it 2 me when i was 3 im still crying

I wasn't planning on crying to this short game but you two sure did a good job at having me sobbing over here. I really enjoyed the game and I'm in love with the art. Good job guys :')

The ending credits song did it for me- NO THESE ARE JUST EYE SWEAT OK, I'm not crying  T-T

I've cried over fictional characters three times this weekend, so pardon the emotional vulnerability. This game was exactly what I needed. My grandma died just over 3 years ago and she drank coffee all the time and made pickled beets and spent time with me in the backyard and made sure to have my favorite food on hand. She was my home, and this was such a beautiful legacy to the ways in which one person can hold space for and care for a number of souls. I've never dabbled in visual novels before, but you folks have definitely converted me. Thank you so much. 

I'm not crying you are T-T

Hullo there! I just finished playing Grandma's Ghosts, and I really enjoyed it! You did a great job, and it looks so polished.

Even the Itch page looks polished, with the background and colours. It all looks so inviting!

I really like the art in this visual novel, with the pencil-like lineart. The colouring has a picture book quality to it, which I love. I think the music fits very well for the scenes. And I really liked the writing, it had humour and it made me like the player character interacting with the other characters (especially Victor). The sound effects were a nice touch, as well as the animation (cookie getting bitten, the phone vibrating, and the characters floating up and down).

Also, the song for the end credits gave me feels. >W<

You asked me to give some feedback on the visual novel? Again, I think the game feels very polished, so I'll try to give some critique moving forward to future projects:

- I think adding transitions (like a fade to/from black) when the player moves on to a new scene would help to show the passage of time.
- Adding a button to go back and see previous text would be helpful for players who accidentally mis-click. And adding an option to increase the speed of the text would be useful to readers.
- Lastly, I think adding a smiling expression for Mom's sprite (to switch to for when she makes a joke) would have helped to show the tone of her voice in the text.

You've done an amazing job on this game. I'm so glad to have played it!

OMG I`m crying so much... Thank you! I loved this game.

I loved this game. The jokes the mom was making were funny and I liked the different personalities of the ghosts. Ending was also very touching. Great game.

this is the kind of game that ive found myself coming back to even after finishing it, and i think i'll keep coming back for a long time. there's just something so unique and charming about the silly little ghosts, the snippets of memories of a sweet grandmother that i somehow feel ive known all my life, and an ending that never fails to make me cry. it's a difficult feeling to describe, but its not a painful kind of crying. its like remembering that pet that died 5 years ago and feeling both fond memories and a dull ache of grief at the same time. both a celebration of life and a mourning of death. this game holds a special place in my heart. truly incredible work!

a lovely soft little game. totally didn't cry.

I am not crying, you are

Such a lovely story to experience. The art is really charming, I love the designs of the ghosts (Victor was my favorite, a spooky but gentle soul) and how the box containing their names each have a unique and cute container design. The story was very sweet and I enjoyed getting a glimpse into the fond memories this person had of their beloved grandma. You two did a great job with this. I'm certainly in the mood for cookies now!

Super charming and funny! What a lovely story!!

it's really beautiful. Not too complicated but really endearing, just like the artwork. Great job!

Wow. This truly made me cry. The characters are enjoyable, the pace, the music. It's just nice, like a little blueberry cookie. And the amount of artwork that went into this is incredible, thank you!

Holy, that was an pretty cool experience, looking forward your next game!

Ps: if you wish, I can translate it into Spanish!

What a beautiful game! Really love the dialogue! By the way, I wonder how you make the text animation, it looks so nice and makes the dialogue more emotional!

Im speechless ... Thank you for this :)

I loved this short story, I found it charming, with a lot of character, and also moving towards the end. Great work to both of you!

Hello, I played the game just now and wanted to tell you that I enjoyed the dialogues so much! Really felt like I was talking to different ghosts, and they were super loveable <3

And the designs and the style are adorable! 

Hey :3 I played the game!

I'm stuck on the part you choose "Garden, Bedroom, Living Room"
