August Ends is the first game I have ever made and was in development for seven months. Feedback is appreciated.
I hope you enjoy!
The game is only compatible with Windows. You may try running it on other OS using EasyRPG or Wine, but I cannot provide support as I have not used either software.

Found this game by pure accident, and while I think that normally I'd be bored by a game like this, I have to admit that I enjoyed it a lot. It might've been repetitive, with the continuous routine of waking up, making food, going to the shrine and sleeping (and optioally other things, like watering the plants or peeking through the keyhole), but somehow that only added to its charm and atmosphere. I really liked the ending, even if sometimes I couldn't understand what's being said because I don't speak french haha. Frankly, even with my lack of knowledge, it was just as lovely.
Although I did kinda wish there was more than just one ending, maybe something tied to how good you can cook and/or how good you take care of your plants. But that's just a loose idea, I still tried to water the plants each day haha.
Lovely game and here's wishing that (if you decide to make any more) your next games will be just as good, and even better! Take care!
This is a sad, depressing, and a heartbreaking game. The story is absolutely pretty good. The pixel arts/graphics, I adore (<-connoisseur/big fan of pixel arts, guaranteed always 10/10). Music is pretty good-amazing as well. Overall it's an amazing game, and I had enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster happening here. Thank you.
I really liked this. The ending shattered me ... T_T thank you for making this.
The art, story, and sound design were all amazing!
What a lovely game about grief. Beautiful art and animations and very kind story. Thank you!
I'm really touched that you think so, it means a lot to me. Thank you for playing!
Of course! Looking forward to more games from you!
That ending was emotional 😭 Beautiful game! Turns out my cooking skills irl are the same in as game.
Thank you so much, that's kind of you to say! Sorry that the game couldn't be an escape for you haha.
