This genuinely made me pause my everyday life to think about this and made me reflect. "Compassion has no ideology." This game is brilliantly made and I love it so much. The creator is very talented. I found this game by playing their others. Amazing game. Very well made.
I'm very glad, thank you!
"Compassion has no ideology".
I didn't even know that quote was going to signify the end of this adaption, but it had me sitting at my desk reflecting for a few minutes. I hope said quote comes from the book this artwork was adapted from, because I now have some literature I need to read.
Very well made, deep meaning yet subtle, but didn't come off as pretentious which is a difficult balance in art to obtain. You did a fantastic job.
Yeah, I was directly quoting the book there - it is a one powerful sentence
Thank you so much!

This, this is complex, and yet ever so meaningful.
I am, neither wise nor patient, nor even particularly interested in anything religious or political. But, even with what little intellect I do have, I can clearly see the general image, though it's not enough to fully grasp the depths of its symbolism.
A truly incredible adaptation, that sparks interesting question's within oneself, about god, politics and religion.
I'd like to read the book sometime.
The sound design, the graphics, the imagery and words, were all so compelling. Though pixelated, its quality was more than enough to give me sights that are recognizable and charming, and its message more than enough to give a 10/10.
But all together, this makes a solid 20/10 adaptation (on its own merits), though I haven't even touched the source material.
Great work, Developer.
Thank you!
