Loved this! From a chinese immigrant this is so relatable, i still remember eating congee at china after finishing school , one of my favorite comfort foods<3
Is there anything after the "Bar blues" part?
This was wonderful thank you (:
Hi there! This is my favorite game made with Twine! I'm currently working on a video talking about low-code to no code game development and I'd like to know if I can feature this game in the video with credit, of course, thanks!
omg i rlly wanna make congee one day nowww
just finished playing it and i loved it <33 i resonate a lot with food being a love language and a form of bonding, and congee is quite similar to one of my local comfort foods! thank you for sharing this <33 (but oh no it's making me crave food in the middle of the night) KUDOS!!!
this made me cry. i love congee but the chances of eating it gets less and less as i grow older and apart from home :(
Sorry to hear that :( :( I've tried to make it in the past and it turned out ok.
I'm sick and this made me cry 10/10
Thank you so much for playing. Hope you feel better!
This was a heart-warming story of the warmth and love of home and cooking. I loved every moment of it and now I want to make congee. ❤
I hope you made some delicious congee. :-)
I hope too when the weather gets colder. 🥰
Oh no way! I moved from Hong Kong to the UK about a year ago for university, and this reminds me of the time when I was feeling a bit sick and made congee for myself. Rice cookers are really life savers in this situation. I really loved this though, and there's a strange joy in realising that there are other people who find the same things weird about the UK as me.
Thank you so much for playing and glad this spoke to your experience!
I'm not Chinese but as a kid in an immigrant family this gave a lot of very cozy vibes to me, sometimes you just want to be around the familiar. 💖
The story is warm and cozy and about a feeling so familiar to me. A lovely game!
Now I really wanna know how congee tastes like, it seems so nice. Really loved the art, btw
really beautiful!!! loved the animation and the tone, and i miss congee :')
Love this game <3 It was such a mood for me and now I wonder how congee tastes, seems delicious!
That was so touching and beautiful! It's a really relatable feeling to anyone who has lived far from home.
Thank you - that means a lot to me!
Draws you in with increasingly interesting graphics and a compelling story. Simple yet immersive. Nicely done.
Thanks for checking it out!
i love congee!
