a new life. Reviews
If you like romance gamesThis is definitely for you it was super fun to play but also really sad theres lots of different endings.
Lovely game we loved all endings made us cry a little lol. But we wish there was more haha its such a sweet nice detailed game. We dont know any other game like it and this is the type of game we’ve been looking forever for.
What a beautiful work and touching story! It have beautiful art style and warm music. Makes us have really strong feeling and touches us a lot. As a player who achieved the true end after a several try, we have a very complex feeling towards the end. But anyway, that is really awesome story and recommend.
Between the story line, characters, and music everything is beautiful. The game play wasnt as long as the description says but Im alright with that. We love the two characters- August and May- and their different personalities. The game was beautiful and we really loved going through and playing for the different endings. Thank you for such a wonderful game! Originally we came here because Id played another game theres this girl and this game had similar feels to that one. It did not disappoint!
Angela Hes visuals and writing really draw you into the story and characters and she is overall a great storyteller. Would 100% recommend it is so worth the money.
Awesome LGBT game, it left us crying.
Wow. Made us cry and happy and hopeful and laugh! The dialogue is so realistic too! WE NEED MORE GAMES LIKE THIS! And thank you for no in app purchase nonsense! Im always happy to spend a good $5-10 on a good mobile app game :)
Wow. This one hit us. Im a 14 year old bisexual girl whos lost a lost of people. Two to cancer, and one to the pandemic. We hesitated for a while considering that this game costs 3 dollars, but im glad we bought it. We think our biggest fear is the unknown. Not knowing whats going to happen next, and what couldve happened instead. Second to that, our other fear is losing the people we love. After we finished the game, we found myself looking into our own life, and we think we needed that.
We loved the story and all the endings. Its so well done and pretty! Exactly our kind of style. But we dont think this is very appropriate for 4 year olds. Someone that young might not understand what a brain tumor and its not exactly great to give them worries like these so we would say this game if for 10+. We also like that this game doesnt collect data or include in-app purchases. We hate it when you pay for a game and then have to pay more money!!! All in all, amazing game. We would totally recommend it and its a perfect LGBTQ+ story! P.S. Go check out their other games! There great too!!!
It is a very good game and we know how august feel and we feel so Emotionally connected to this game.
When we played it for the first time; like from the beginning, we over the way that the whole layout was in general. We were amazed! The game looks amazing, and has amazing lgbtq+ representation, like august and may are so cute together and we think its kinda funny they are both named after months! There weren’t any bugs, and the quality is very high. Its an amazing game, and id totally recommend it to anyone that is not homophobic! :D SPOILERS: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED YET! We cried so hard at the ending where may was old and died of another tumor (i think). We think its a tumor because the doctor said something about how she had another one- THE NOTE THING MAY WROTE THOUGH, THATS WHAT GOT ME. Anyways, we love how each decision you make can literally affect mays life- and augusts, but who cares about august. /j OVERALL AMAZING GAME!!
Its so nice how they found love but then at the end someone that they love passes away and its so sad to see somebody you love passing away it really fill our heart with love yet we will cry when ever the end comes we hope they make an other part to it we will be happy if they see each another agin.
Didnt anticipate shedding tears over fictional characters in a game app, but our brain got tricked by how relatable and realistic this was ugh our gf and we broke up over two years ago, and we still havent even come close to dating anyone else. Im so tired of being alone. Woe is us Boo. >_>
We would like to thank the creators for making a that includes the best stuff ever this is a beautiful game when we got to the old ending we were going to pass out and when we flip the page and we saw what they gave the rest of the page to us to fill out our love story about our life well we will give a thank you to the creators for this game has grown for us now teaching people how to never give up give this game 5 stars please.
We played missed messages and loved it, that game hit us hard and we didnt know if we were emotionally prepared for another game by her. So about a month later today, we finally had the courage and played the game. At the start it felt lacking, but then we played it again and tried for a different ending. It hit us hard, and then we kept playing, just getting every ending. At the end we chose to go back to the ending we got our second run, and we were absolutely destroyed. We cannot describe the feelings and just everything this game gave us. This game is incredible; its a soul crusher, the art is great, the music really grew on us, and its just a great story. We cannot recommend this game enough, the fact that this game is only 3$ is criminal.
We love this game so much. Its so sweet and the artwork is incredible. The music is calming and the story is adorable. We cried at the end, lol. A few things to note: we dont think its worth the $3 that we paid, but we’ve played many other games by this creator and we have loved all of them, so we didnt mind paying it and we still dont, because she definitely deserves it, but the game is just a little bit too short for that much of a cost. The voices annoyed us at first, since it was just random gibberish, but we got used to it and by around the third chapter, we didnt even notice. All in all, a lovely game, no regrets, and will be playing this story over, and over.
This game is so cute and so sad we loved the storyline and how it ended.
The storyline really opened our eyes and inspired us. We’ve been going through a lot and this gave us hope that there is love out there. That we can live our life to the fullest without a world of splendor. That all we need is love. This made us shed a few tears and the story is just beautiful. We 100% recommend it.
Coming from a lesbian, its great to see a wlw game like this. We just absolutely hate that we cried to this, and we really recommend this game. The only thing we dont like is that we cannot find any wlw game that is as incredible as this one. Great job, love the game !!
Its a good game and for the people that say that its not appropriate for lgbtq and kissing is wrong because even if you are young its still not inappropriate but if you get a certain ending where may dies from the morbigavirus and you back to the chapter where they kiss August says the a word but we also dont like how it leaves off at it saying closure for a new chapter yet we never got one.
This story is amazing and sad. But wow the story was great.
It was a good game and we loved the graphics and storytelling, but it was so short. Within ten minutes we had finished the game, and it was just boring.
Its a good game but isnt it to inappropriate for kids it says 4+ can play it but its lgbtq kids should not learn that especially for young ones whoever made this should not allow 4 year olds to play it our younger sister played it she said there was a lot of inappropriate kissing and lgbtq things pls fix it.
If you say no to one thing (eg: a kiss), the game is over and everything resets back to zero.
Im crying cant even fully type a response, but the game is worth the money.
We really like the game so far but when we try to go back to the beginning or even a few chapters back it will either just go black or just keep rewinding. We can barely fish the game because of this.
(this review contains spoilers.) This game is beautifully bittersweet. We loved playing it. However, after youve played through the end, and you try to go back, something about the Enjoying the memories she gave us. Screen makes the game decide not to actually play the game. It just stops on a blank screen. Then the second time, it freezes up on the second image behind the words. This is literally the only problem we have with this game, and Im not even sure if its just us.
This game has great graphics and amazingly represented pride, but as a game, it lacks a lot of things. The description said 40-90 minutes of game play, yet we finished it in about 5 minutes. Im not willing to go back and read the same 20 dialogues just to pick one different option for another ending. And yeah, theres like what, 5 choices in total? We were expecting something more. More character development, more about how they meet, just more short stories to make our money worthwhile. We are honestly disappoint to use $3 on a 5 minute game that had so much great potential :(
Its a great game, the only problem is it wont let us replay to get the other ending. Its really upsetting to see that we spent $3 just for this game to work once :(
For some reason when we start up the game it plays no sound or music. We have the volume up in the settings and on our phone.
Honestly we dont think we’ve ever let a game get to us this much, the art work was just absolutely stunning, not to mention the background music added so much into it, we could replay this game for hours and hours, plus we think the 5 endings was awesome, it really gets you thinking and honestly changed our whole perspective over COVID-19, trust us when we say you HAVE to play this game. The story, the art, the music, everything was just amazing.
It hit the feels… Or more like punched us in the heart. We read another review about the need for content warnings, and we definitely agree and can see how this can be a painful trigger to those dealing with similar things.
This is such a beautiful story. We replayed it a couple times before we got to the old age ending. It was so emotional, we cried at the end. The perfect example of what ifs and wishing for different endings. We dont know which ending was the true ending, but we wonder if maybe august had imagined some of those endings in order to move on? Im sure the one where theyre old is the true ending, but we like thinking she got carried away with imagining this big wonderful life with her. One thing we think would be good to add is a content warning though. We know someone else made that comment as well. At first we were playing it and our boyfriend was watching, but he soon became triggered by the brain tumors and virus scenarios. He has severe health anxiety and we think it would be good if there was a warning so others dont become triggered. Still a beautiful game and we cant wait to see what else these creators come up with! :)
Im at a loss for words. We have been a HUGE fan of all of her games and this one like all the others have hit a deep part in our heart This work is brilliant like all the others and we would DEFINITELY dont regret paying for this amazing game!
This is such a heartwarming game and totally worth it! Also we saw an agust g poster and it made us laugh BUT please give this game a try!
Cried into a pillow, held our wife, continually replayed until we made these fictional characters happy. 10/10 would ugly cry again.
It made us cry at the end it was beautiful but sad. Please make more!!! We love this and the other game too!
Well once again you made us cry.. May is our spirit animal lolol thank you for making this you are so poetic and talented ily <3 makes us feel really happy.
We’ve never been so emotionally moved by a story game such as this. It brought us to tears. Absolutely fantastic. Please make more of these!
We cried several times like a giant newborn baby. Fantastic LGBTQ game. Tragically phenomenal. We’ve played every game by the creator and we hope for more.
Wow our heart just got ripped in two, thanks.
It has many endings and you make the choices. Its a great game and anyone who said its bad or content warning thats nit true its a amazing game we play it a lot.
Where to start, first the main character is a beautiful transgender woman. Her love interest is a also amazing lesbian woman. Also the choices actually impact the story and what seems to be some of the smallest choices, really impact their story. They also make it realistic by having them quarantined for some of their story. We played threw the game and got all of the endings each one made laugh, one made us cry and just told a story. Oh and the beautiful art! Each piece of art is beautifully drawn and shaded with a beautiful color palette. They do re-use pictures but very rarely. Also the dialogue, its realistic and funny. They sound like real people. Its just right. Its funny enough for it to not to devalue the game and also is great enough to add to the story. The music, it was amazing and it adds emotion and just adds so much to the characters and story. Over all this game is amazing.
We were always rather a fan of Angela He and her work but this took it to a whole new level,,her games are amazing and better yet the effort she puts into it with the music and the art. Im glad to say she hasnt disappointed at all with this beautiful and nostalgic game. Her games always seem to hit right into your feelings and truly captures the upmost euphoric feeling of falling in and out of love, thank you for your amazing work and we hope someone out there find this game and loves it just like we did <3.
We’ve supported and followed Angela Hes work for a long time. This game manages to make even the most painful experiences interesting to play through. Its hard for your emotions not to spill out playing this. We didnt hesitate to pay for this app when it first came out, especially if it means being able to support the creator. We seriously suggest for you to play through this. Explore this.
