Yuki
August 1999, on a small Japanese island...
Yuki is a short casual visual novel about memories, minimal and contemplative, with a touch of magic realism.
All artwork by me. Music remixed from my album keshiki ้ขจๆฏ
Made with Flicksy 2, hacked with various functions.

Such a pretty and emotional game, it has such a nostalgic feeling to it. I loved every single bit of "Yuki" :')
awww thank you so much! If you haven't tried it, you can get some slightly different stories depending on wether you take the bus or not ๐
Beautiful game, well done
Thanks a lot for your feedback, much appreciated!
Cute game! I couldn't get past the vending machine part, it makes 0 sense to me. A few mistakes in the English, but it didn't stop the game and art from being very charming :) Love the music and art!
Thank you for taking the time to play, enjoy and write this!
You need to click the vending machine if this makes any sense but yeah I wasn't sure how interaction vs storyline should develop in this part ๐
English isn't my native language and even if a friend helped me, it seems we couldn't nail every mistake ๐
Thank you so much for enjoying it! ๐ It's fun to see others playing! That's right, Nekoshima doesn't exist but is based on"cat" and "-shima"is appended to islands names

sweet gameThank you very much for enjoying it and taking the time to create a video!
Made me cry.
Ooh, I hope it was a good cry! โฅ
The story was inspired be the loss of our first cat, about a year ago. Grieving took of course time and we've got a new cat now. I think it helped me create this game.
Although the island is fictional, it's highly inspired by places I love to go to when I'm in Japan!
One day in summer 2019 I walked down a street and passed by bare yard with only a single flowering tree standing in its center. Under the tree a kitten was playing with its mother cat.
As I passed by the scene it felt like a diorama. A beautiful succinct frozen moment.
Your game feels the same way, especially that one moment on the column.
About crying - I have my own past loses and your game reminds me of those. Sometimes a bad cry is what we need, so it is also a good cry.
Thank you for sharing these stories. This was touching. Wishing you the best!
This is very well done! The music and the visuals complement each other and make a great bittersweet atmosphere. You have just earned a new follower. Hopefully one of many!
Keep making great work!
