This game has a very special place in my heart.

All of Antonio games, have this kind of thing of where, each one has something unique that shines and gets stuck with you, and 'It Comes In Waves' is no different, and is probably my favorite of them all.

It's been years since I've lost the love of my life, and personally, I don't think it's getting any better, but this game touched my soul, it represented in a artistic way, what grief is, in a way that can only be done through a video game.

And the game is completely accurate. After I lost her, my world became dull, tasteless, like I had lost half of me, the entire world feels like one huge desert ever since. Unwanted, guilty, I feel like an outcast, wandering through an empty land on automatic mode, eating and drinking water just to survive. Where the only thing keeping me company are strangers and the sound of nature.

Other people don't get it, they think that it's easy or that I should live for myself but, I can't. I can't forget, I can't hide what she meant to me, I can lie and smile and make jokes and tell that everything is alright, when deep down, I feel desolated. The only person that truly loved me, the only person that understood how I am as a person, is now gone.

And even in the end of the world, I would still walk, I would still celebrate what she did to me and I would still, grow a flower in her memory, it is the least that, I, a person still alive, can do.


Thanks Antonio Freyre, for creating this game. I will never forget it.

It was okay I guess? I like the style and gameplay for the most part, but I dislike the structure and how you're pretty much time limited. You need water to survive. It's reduced gradually while you're running in the desert trying to find the next water source. This can be through water tanks you find or killing others to steal their water. You'll need to do this long enough until the gate opens. Said gate opens after the specimen you're carrying is at least 100% grown. You can find tanks that increase this growth rate to 10% each time.

I died the first time after 20 minutes because I went all the way to the west (junkyard) and it turns out there was little to get there except for 10% growth. I died the second time after 32 minutes. I was in front of the gate and ready to finish things but I didn't have enough water. I didn't feel like playing a third time especially since walking around is so slow and that's a lot of what you'll be doing. I saw the ending on Youtube and it's pretty much a couple of seconds after entering the gate. So you can say I pretty much completed the game.

The ending is not worth it and I don't feel like you need to play this game since it's unsatisfying with its structure and it feels like it could have done with more depth and content. I would have paid more to get a more satisfying game since I understand the current price is too cheap to offer more.
