This is beautiful. Brought to tears. I love it.
Sorry to make you cry Kotcheta but I appreciate you playing. It means the world to me
I wanna preface this by saying that I usually never play story games or fishing games, this is beautiful.
I don't think I can really express how much I love this game.
I love the background art and how it slowly transitions into night.
I love the simple story about real life problems between a dad and his son.
I would like to thank you for asking me to play your game.
No problem at all. Thank you for taking the time to play it! It means a lot to me :)
Just played Banff, and it's fantastic. It's such a relaxing experience. The fishing mechanic is the perfect way to let the story breathe.
Thank you for playing!
It's a very cool and relaxing game with an amazing dialogue ,i've been playing for 10 mins and the more the two characters talk the more it gets intriguing ,I don't want to spoil you so i'll stop there but if you're looking for something relaxing and intriguing you should play
I am very glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing
I love this game, it reminds me of fond times I had with my father when i was young and would go fishing with him
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and connected to it's message!
