This Life Escapes Me

it was so beautiful and tragic.... I loved the game and art but I am also so sad for him <3

very touching. The art's immesely beautiful with a touch of realism, too. 

wanna know how it could make me bawls my eyes out even more? Making another series of this >:( with voice acting too if possible
:< I LOVE THE STORY AND IT MADE ME HAPPY AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME <3 PLS CONTINUE THIS WHERE WE COULD LIVE WITH HIM FOR DECADES!!!!!! <

I felt the emotions so sincerely I cried while voice acting it out loud 😭 I completely forgot people were in the same room as me. I was immersed in the story - in Gad's life - and in turn what should've been. I also love the changes in facial expressions that was timed so well with the writing pauses. Everyone involved in the making of the game deserve an applause 👏

Reallly good Sad so so so Sad I hate crying but hope Gad let go enough till he with his love one once more

it's beautiful. a beautiful sadness. :'(

feeling bad for Gad is not enough I need to reach through the screen and hug him

Idk how to express how sad the ending was through words so have a picture.

It ain't ur fault Gad, don't blame urself sweet boi- 

(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)

I would heckin bend the laws of life & death for dis precious man-

the end absolutely broke me, but in the best way

THE END WAS SO TRAGIC. POOR GAD. I'M SOBBING, He spent so many years of his youth to get his lost love, only for him to realize he must let them rest, and in turn let himself rest. But still I wish for there somehow to be a happy ending, even if it's in my imagination :'(

The story is short but the ending brought tears to my eyes. The ending broke my heart o(╥﹏╥)o

Lots of emotion in a small game - good job!

Holy fuck this was perfection. Also I was just thinking how wonderful a prequel would be and the announcement is just above the comment box. 

It's also just a perfect ship dynamic and I absolutely need to do some writing of my own inspired by this.

Man, five stars for the story. Simple, yet somehow passes the emotions through. Very good work!

This nearly made me cry.... so heartbreaking

you are inSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANEEEE this.. is absolutely, perfect. LITERALLY omfg i gotta play this again

Man, that was really sad in just a few minutes. From all the visual novels I had I thought Gal was a yandere but I realized that Gal couldn't cope, he tried so desperately but just couldn't. I'm so glad in any and all endings the MC, though doesn't have their memories, still treats Gal tenderly as though somewhere inside of them still loves Gal no matter what. And for Gal who had known the harshness of life to have the one good thing taken away from him, god no wonder the man coped the way he did in such a delusional way. At the very least MC was able to give closure to not only themselves but to Gal who desperately needed. I do agree with one of the comments (Ebbasuke) that the game having no audio (whether it be music or sound effects) was really weird and kind of off-putting (especially when music suddenly pops in at the credits) but the short narrative was melancholic enough that you could overlook it. A wonderful story with beautiful art, I wish Gal and MC all the best.

mobile browser: text starts at the VERY bottom of the screen, and any li es under the first are off it. 🤷

this should not have made me cry as hard as it did I-I

This visual novel is amazing. It's short yet powerful and beautiful. I look forward to the prequel!

I'm crying like a baby. This one breaks my heart more than it should oh god

I loved the melancholic atmosphere of this game along with its beautiful art <3 

Hello Coda! I really enjoyed this, it was beautifully made! Do you have an email where I can contact you? I'd like to talk to you about the possibility of translating This Life Escapes Me into Spanish :)

Gorgeous art and game!

Beautiful! I'm a sucker for melancholy. I found it a bit disturbing that there was no sound until the credits though. Could've used some ambient sound effect (wind, water, leaves, etc.) in the background. For some reason, the full-screen button and config button were on top of each other, but I didn't really need them while playing.

Holy shit, I'm so mad- I love this so much, this game is so good, but-! I can't handle sad endings like this!! Thank you all for your hard work!! This is such a good game!! I'm so angry about this!! I'm so glad I played it, thank you again!

Well, gotta contribute to the comments section here as well.

Here you go, my review (again)

This Life Escapes Me Review

wow, it was so...

just, thanks a lot for your work. wish I could make something as great as it was someday.

D: why? XD I loved it and I'm trying to not cry, it's too short and painful, I loved the background music.

Sorry if I say something wrong XD English is not my mother language

Oh, this was lovely.

This is a beautiful and emotional game! i'm going play it again while listening to "the unquiet grave"

That shit hurted ;~;

I LOVED THIS!!!

Bittersweet and complex, with art and atmospheric effects to match. I felt as though I learned a lot about the player character as well as Gad, and the story, though short, was well developed! Encore!!

Holyyyyyy this was so good. I loved the ending especially! 

This game exceeded my expectations! The art is gorgeous. The writing...oh my god the writing, it was a perfect emotional gut punch. I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed this game.  

I cried. Real tears. Holy shit.
