Very short but cute and fun!, December 22, 2020by inte (USA) This game is very short, but the art and music is amazing. Over all it's cute, fun, and with a heartwarming story. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Lovely little Twine game, December 6, 2020by brwarner (Vancouver, BC) Lovely little Twine game. This honestly feels like what all the tiny, evocative Twine games aspire to be and it does it so well. For such a small game, it has a lot of visuals but they are so effectively woven into the passages, it isn’t distracting it all. The first screen after the title will show you exactly what I mean. Great atmosphere, so much care taken with each passage, and really cute and heartwarming ending. Never had Congee, but now I want to try it! Please play! Was this review helpful to you?

Interactive comfort food, December 6, 2020The Comp randomizer handed me Congee and Mother Tongue close together, which is an interesting coincidence since they’re both short choice-based games dealing with immigration, alienation, and assimilation. Where Mother Tongue focuses more on the relationships between different generations and touches on some big issues, Congee is really about friends supporting each other, and the comforts of home.

A cute story about homesickness, friendship and family, December 2, 2020Congee is low on interactivity, but it does tell a cute story about homesickness, friendship and family. Interspersed with the text are music and occasionally some nicely drawn pictures. A problem for me, playing it on a poor internet connection, was the size of the images, some up to a megabyte. I’m sure they could be reduced to a tenth of the size without sacrificing much detail. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Absolutely Lovely, December 1, 2020by Ann Hugo (Canada) I absolutely loved this game. I felt the story so much. And the characters were so wonderfully written. The audio and graphics were excellent. I don't know what to say beyond that this game was amazing and I 100% recommend it. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A short and sweet story about home, October 12, 2020This is a truly lovely game. It’s written in Twine, and is basically a heartwarming short story told with interactivity, animation and sound. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

The IF equivalent of comfort food, October 6, 2020This short choice-based work is about being both sick and homesick, and the comfort that certain foods can bring to both kinds of illness. While primarily text, the game is accompanied by soft music and occasional illustrations that perfectly compliment the mood of the story. I don't want to say much more as the game is very short and I wish for everyone to experience it for themselves. But I will say this: I've only played this game once, and for the best reason. The path that I took and the ultimate outcome of the game felt so perfect and brought me such joy that I can't imagine finding a better one and I want to preserve this one playthrough in my memory, undiluted.

Warm and comforting. , October 4, 2020by deathbytroggles (Minneapolis, MN) A linear, very short story about a woman missing being home and the women in her life who support her. Becci does some really cool things with Twine on the graphical end of things; the imagery is gorgeous. The story is not particularly deep, but it's heartfelt and something many people I'm sure can relate to. I almost want to try some congee! Was this review helpful to you?
