Novena is a beautiful game, with a encouraging message.
'you wish to visit again tomorrow'

Characters - You and the ocean.
Sound - An amazing soundtrack for how short the game is. The heavenly mix of piano and violin really helps to bring out the emotional setting of the game.
Gameplay - You walk around the short different maps and talk to the ocean: a visual novel type gameplay
Visuals - Basic but effective graphics. Limited by what the dev was creating on, but still fits into the game style and feel.
Story - You are a normal person, who wants a wish from the ocean, but the ocean weeps and refuses to grant any wishes. You decide to come back tomorrow, again and again, listening to the ocean and trying to soothe its sorrow. Eventually you gain a bond with the ocean and it decides to grant you a wish. 'You wish to visit again tomorrow'.
