I had already been trying to be careful and aware and smart about my germs and spreading it before I found this game, but this made it really hit home for me. Watching new graves get dug and seeing just how many graves there already are is so heartbreaking. It's so simple and so well made and really helps put things into perspective. Anyone reading this, please stay inside and stay safe. Thank you Dean Moynihan for really making everything click in my brain. I was very detached and apparently unaware before this point, and I appreciate you helping me realize the gravity of the situation, depressing as it is.
This game makes me want to cry, its such a touching experience. I started walking, trying to find the newest grave, and then it just kept going and going and going, and the longer it went the more i was sitting there just like "oh my god" very quietly to myself.
One thing that I noticed also was this one section of the graves, near the bottom, where there was a flower on every grave in this corner. And its obviously a spot where someone spent a lot of time finding flowers and placing them to try to honor every life lost, and that was also so sad and touching, just the experience of seeing all these other flowers where people had paid their respects and the lines along the bottom and top of the map where people had obviously tried to honor everyone.
An intense experience and a reminder both of what those numbers mean and of the kindness of humanity
I wrote a small piece on this amazing bit of art. If you are interested here it is. It was breath taking just standing in a huge filed seeing how big the impact is. Thank you.
Me and my friend downloaded this to check it out, at first we thought it was a joke game. But we soon realized how beautiful it was, I just want to say thank you.
great game, my opinion but there should be times when the roses rot and different seasons and comments on graves for anyone who has a family or friend who died and knows their number, overall its a great game.
This is an amazing piece. I'm not ashamed to say that it made me tear up and cry, especially when I saw the gravediggers burying more people next to me. Kinda gives you an awareness of how fragile life is., and that the deceased are more than a mere number. Thank you.

It's like lighting a candle for the deceased but in digital form. This is a lovely game. Well done for thinking of it.
I recommend as many people lay at least one rose.
Hi! I tried to download it for mac, but it says that it can't open it. Do you know how to fix the problem? I have MacOS Catalina 10.15.3

the scale of this feels so deeply sad. i never realized how big this situation was until now, which makes me feel like an idiot.
thank you for this. i will wash my hands and continue to pray. God bless.
Remember when people said games caused violence?

lol, great game
I can't seem to place down roses T^T I'm clicking space on the graves and clicking it but nothing happens..
Space bar!
You have to look for a flower first and pick it before you can place it at a grave :)
Thank you so much! I'm such a dummy >w<
Very nice work! <3

everyone deserves a rose. thanks for this
My whole country self isolated today, it's been a bit stressful, but this is good reminder of why we need to do it. Thank you.

<3
This made me cry. ♥
thank you
I hope you and yours are safe and sound.
thank you
I never really realised how many people died until now. 13,000 is just a number. But seeing it all laid out like that really drove it home.
It's nice to be able to give them some kind of honour, even if it's just in a game. So thank you.
beautiful
