Thank you for the art support. 
I have started a separate thread for the crash-on-exit bug here. |

This is an excellent art piece and is as modern as is possible today. Being forty, I think it's easier to understand the art and living in a city can also
help in understanding more of this piece. I would love to see....perhaps a virtual museum/art space that protrays this type of artwork. Congratulations .....this is new! |

Thank you. Perhaps this is because one of the makers is (almost) forty and lives in a city.

Thank you. I'm sure there will be an opportunity to show The Graveyard in a museum or festival, giving that our previous work has been shown around quite a bit. |

Really? I wouldn't have expected that. Good to know. 
It runs pretty badly on my laptop (a MacBook; 8 FPS), even though it disables some of the "Fantastic" mode shaders that show up on higher end machines. |

| just dropping by to say thank you... I think you got a really neat level of openness for perception in such a tightly framed game.. when the song started I didn't expect it to blend in and work so well.. also I'm very thankful for this reminder of what I really like about computer games. |

That was strangely moving. o.0 I wasn't actually expecting all that much...seeing as I tend to fail at interpreting artworks.
I think my favourite bit was walking up the path. She walked a bit, began to limp; I stopped to let her rest; we walked a bit more; we rested. I kept on thinking "c'mon, c'mon, you can do it, get to the bench, get to the bench..."
The song, and the death, was interesting, but the walk up the path was more emotive for me.
For some reason it reminded me of a Simon & Garfunkel song...

One question...after she died, while sitting on the bench, I couldn't figure out how to exit the game. I ctrl-alt-del-ed it in the end; am I missing something really obvious here? |

No. You did everything as expected. I'm afraid this is our little artsy side showing: the lady dies and she takes the computer application with her. For us this "malfunctioning" of the software enhances the emotion of the situation.
But I admit that it's confusing. But then again, so is death... |

You see, I really don't want to sound like I would be... fawning (hah - wordplay *snickers* ) but I am ever really anxious to hear about new games developed by "Tale of Tales", because the experience while playing is so innovative, so poetic and peaceful. You feel like you are sliding into a story, a philosophic drawing .. into another world full of mysterious wonders. That is beautiful. A little light within all those brutal 08/15-games nowadays.
And so I enjoyed "The graveyard" truly. I felt like I could just breathe the whole scenery of it... the loneliness of this woman, alone in this grey world of her memories and yet surrounded by the speed of life.. passing her time to care about her lost relatives...and remembering her past.
The way to tell her story through this somber song is well chosen. Music is a wonderful way to transport emotions, to tell stories.
I also found it amazing that you put in such little details like her movements, how she is propping up on her cane and ...hopping a little.. beautiful work, really.
I am eager to play "The Path" too. n.n |

Until you post the same to every page on Encyclopaedia Dramatica, I will not take you seriously. |

I don't get it. As macabre as this sounds, she just won't die! I have her seated on the bench, the song plays, but when it's over I wait a little while... I see the see-through head on the screen she's still sitting on the bench, but she just won't lay to rest.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I just get a gun and get it over with?   |
