Distance

A woman writes letters to her husband who is out at sea, talking about other folks, her new hobbies and finally hoping for his return.

This IF is told in the format of a letter, although you get one branching option in the game, based on what the protagonist wishes to write about. The writing was sweet and charming. The art was nice, although I think the pink colors were part of the requirements for another jam.

It was a short and sweet read.

Distance is a tiny epistolary piece in which you play as Syrena, a woman writing a letter to her beloved, Davey, currently at sea, longing for his return. You share with him news about life back on the coast, how you spend your day, and wish for his safe return.

It's a very simple but effective use of the epistolary format. It feels so real and dream-like. Just a snippet into people's live through very few words. Maybe the pink interface influenced this, but it's charming to boot. I really enjoyed the variation in your choice of hobby, how distinct they are, giving a different window into Syrena's life.

A really cute, with a hint of sad, entry!
