Pygmalion Lied
- Press the right arrow key to begin the story after the foreword -
Learning how to mourn is hard enough on its own. Rediscovering a long-dormant truth along the way makes it all the more complicated.
Playtime: ~20-30 minutes
cw: some mildly strong language, mentions of mourning and death, sensual themes.

That was so... poetic and beautiful. I just don't know what else to say. I love a game that can make me feel calm and make me think and this is definitely it. Beautiful. Just like the statue...
By the way, I played this a few years back and now that I've replayed it feels like there's some kind of discovery... I don't want to assume but are Vivi and Caro... in love? That's what I interpreted at least. If that's not it I'm sorry just curious! Whatever the case, you get 5 stars from me!!! <3
god so much yearning packed into one statue!! this hit home, especially seeing art as self discovery <3
Thanks for playing, Ken!
poignant and aching, sometimes amusing (that feeling of "oh you fool. it's so obvious!" when you've gone through the same process of realization). truly incredible
Thank you so much! Hahaha that feeling ain't it just the worst/best/something in-between!! I'm pleased you enjoyed it, thank you for playing <3
god that was a beautiful experience
Thank you!!
This was absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad I took the time to play it. The way the player discovers the narrator as they themselves do is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for creating something so excellent!!
Thank you so much for playing! I love that you felt close to Vivian's discovery <3
