I'm gonna miss this game when it ends.

[Hobo Crack Rat]

Kind of unfortunate that the next best thing to this is Omori :(

[SolidPayne]

Well fortunately we got plenty of time before that happens

[Hobo Crack Rat]

But nothing will fill the void once its over

[水面]

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

I’m sure people will make mods and stuff to expand on the story when its done. People did that with Omori

dude every game has an ending. But when I think that tcal has the same fate, I can't hold back the tears either. Just don't think about it...

Honestly I think this game will go on to inspire others to let loose with their creations, and simply create the art they want to create. I've already seen others inspired to create (not games yet, but other art) that's more out-there from what they'd normally create after playing this, finally deciding they don't care what others think or even doing such out of solidarity with the dev.
I'm hopeful that, in time, we'll see lots of weird, dark, and unusual stories told as the box continues to be opened, crack by crack, by more artists and gamedevs.

And if you feel so inspired, try creating something yourself! I firmly believe inspiration is the most valuable thing you can give someone in life, and I know for many, TCOAAL gave them so much.

You're completely right, after passing through, I remembered that I can write music and draw, and opened my channel on YouTube. Thanks to the game

I certainly hope so, art is never better with limitations. Movies didn't get better with the hays code, comics didn't get better with the comics code authority. We need art to go to new places to evolve especially when it involves topics that make people uncomfortable. Video games especially have to since it such a new medium compared to all the other ones and I'm glad games like this exist. Hell even a game like Stray Gods I'm glad exist and I don't even like musicals because not alot of people do it so it's refreshing and adds variety to gaming

oh yeah, modding tools are already being worked on as we speak!

[SolidPayne]

Can't imagine modding tools would be that hard to make for such a simple game

[Cunnyng Femboy]

It will live forever in my heart ♥ I want more games about this kind of love that isn't just hentai but is also romantic

I don't know what it is about this game but this is very true. When I first played it I was in a state of being an unproductive slob (though to be fair I was recovering from an illness). The next day I found myself dusting off some old projects that I haven't touched in months with renewed enthusiasm.

I've had this conversation with several people now, and I think there's a lot that goes into it! The passion undoubtedly bleeds through the project to its audience, and I think it's quite contagious. I do also believe the subject matter may have a lot to do with it, particularly in chapter 1; seeing our terrible but beloved characters truly at the end of their wits, helpless to their circumstances, may open our eyes to the ways we're also stuck in our lives and motivate us to push forward and do something about it.

If you want to play more good dark games try the fear and hunger 1 and 2, sally face and The Cat Lady
