lovetellers
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
WARNING
This game contains implied abuse and murder, mentions of alcohol use and injuries, and a brief misogynistic remark.
Continental folklore says that the way a cornflower fades can tell you a lot about love. If it fades slowly, your love will last. If it fades quickly, you better not get your hopes up.
Meredith already knows how this story will end: the woman she loves will die. As the flowers keep turning white, she desperately tries to ignore the foreshadowed truth.

I haven't played your previous games yet, but oh god was this so soft and poetic! Your writing really has this idk??pulling factor? Like i was so drawn to every line, the symbolism, the vagueness, everything was chefs kiss. With just two cornflowers on screen u managed to evoke such emotions, and U MADE IT IN 36 HOURS OMG! Thank u for the great game! I am v interested in meredith and iris and him, will def play the other games from this universe>< -A

This was a great entry, Naarel! It was quite short and was evocative of a lot of things you've suggested about the oneironverse, and yet, I really appreciated the new layer it brought to Meredith and Iris' relationship (and I didn't remember there was such a connection between Eva and Iris herself... I suppose I need to replay Convergence)! I also really loved the music tracks and the way you used the cornflowers. It was really strong symbolically, wonderfully evocative and truly poetic!! The picture of Meredith, desperately looking for the cornflower which won't turn white when she touches it... is a very striking one.
Congrats on the game, it's impressive you made it in less than 36 hours!!!!
