Очень рад, что ознакомился с новым творением отечественных разработчиков. Простая и незамысловатая игра, подкупающая атмосферой и трогательной историей. Я очень люблю игры в подобном дизайне, поэтому с удовольствием поиграл в неё. Очень рекомендую к прохождению
Another short game that delivers a pretty powerful message with simple mechanics. Without spoiling the story of our character, we are going through our house and reliving memories of a happier time as we are packing up to move to a new home. Games about grief are so talented in creating ways to visually show the characters mental state and really get you to feel the same emotions as them. Something I liked about this game is the different topic choices each item we interact with gives us, this allows for multiple play-throughs to learn all of the different story details. I really liked how each item brought up 3 different options, it really shows that one item could have different memories and feelings associated with it. The voice acting was really nice to listen to, some parts I could hear the pain as they recalled certain memories or thought about different things. Another part I enjoyed was how they wrote our character, his feels and attachments made me cry a lot, especially due to how he spoke about the good times. Our character is hurting and has been for a while, which is why the message of this game is so important for others to hear. Keep moving forward, find things that help you get better and above all else... Carry Onward

Short and sweet yet somber title about losing your wife, but finding hope elsewhere. Took me like 25 mins. I can see it taking around 90 mins to get a complete all options seen playthrough in.
very thoughtful game, tries to convey a message and easily accomplishes this
Это увлекательная игра, которая полностью погружает вас в захватывающую историю и превращает вас в настоящего героя. Удовольствие приносит и современная минималистичная графика, в игру реально приятно играть. Советую ознакомиться с этим продуктом. 12/10
Despite its short duration, this game will undoubtedly leave a vivid impression in the heart of every player. Its captivating and memorable story touches the depths of the soul and will leave you in a state of deep contemplation. One of the main significant qualities in modern games is the genuine emotions they evoke. The gaming experience is complemented by a magnificent musical component that grabs you from the very first seconds, even in the menu. I really enjoyed it, and I highly recommend exploring this project!
Carry Onward is a game that emphasizes the power of listening. You're not solving any puzzles, or conjuring up solutions to problems. Instead, you're asked to simply listen as a man grieves over the loss of his wife. I'm glad I did. It's short and sweet.
This game is about 15 minutes gameplay time. I expect for 35 mins til 1 hour gameplay for a short game. So, its little bit overprice for me. For all who want buy this game, i want you to know about this game is focusing on the story rather than the gameplay. The story is just good. BUT, I like this game, even i'm not much happy with the story. Im so appreciate the effort, not easy to make a game. I hope this game can be count on my profile steam and there is a next story with longer playtime to make the player more emotional feeling playing the game.
There's nothing remotely inspiring or emotional in the voice acting or the writing.
It helped me through my loss. thank you
