STORY
Afterlife consists in a great field of yellow flowers, green mountains and a beautiful purple sky adorned with millions of stars. All these sights, however, don't impress Paulo, a deceased knight that wanders eternity.

Come back soon, Oddie is a short linear Visual Novel, formatted mainly as a monologue from an unnamed soul, waiting for their friend, Oddie. The soul, shown as a shadow in a field of yellow flower (symbolising friendship), awaits the death of his friend, so they can be once more reunited - though he still wishes for Oddie to live a long and happy life until then.
Aside from its gorgeous interface and calming music, this game also includes voices, narrating the text with an emotional tone, balancing longing and grief. It is quite touching, the way the words are said aloud. It was really lovely.
I also didn’t expect Oddie’s actual name…
