These are some of THE BEST games I have ever played on itch.io and I'm not exaggerating. They left such a large mark on me when I played them one by one. The storytelling's miraculous, the graphics are lovely, the way the story and message is portrayed with such subtle emotion, it really tugged all the right heart strings for me. Recommend this immensely!

Too bad it's Windows only, but I do love your creative work. Especially Red Strings Club. So in hopes that maybe a Mac Version might come out in the future I'm definitely buying the collection! Keep up the good work :)
