Very unique and intresting game, i like it! I hope this guy makes more games like this

Hopeful even when bleak

Beautiful! i think it changed how i look at games

I feel asleep... and loved every second of it. Amazing work!!!

perfect dreams..

it is like a dream

Reminded me of walking through Seattle on a foggy day. 

beautiful

Really beautiful and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing this.

awesome experience!! one of the best walking sims i ever played

beautiful experience, i loved the music 

It's not really a game like I thought, but it's more of an experience. This game is so calming and relaxing. If you're really stressed or tired, I would recommend playing this.

Why the orbs??

I do not get it... for my part, clipping through the spheres made it very jarring as an experience.

love it, heaven for my ears and eyes

its like childhood memory 

Look mom,im here, at the very top of  the Arasaka tower...

This game makes me feel like I'm in a dream damn, very beautiful, love the music so much (my ears are in heaven now)

I'm writing you in behalf of a group of students of the Complutense University of Madrid, in Spain. We are doing an investigation for a subject called "Conservation of New Media Art" and after some thought and research we found your game 'city:ephemera', which we think could be a good subject of study for our project. 

We think this project has a lot of interest through the perspective of a work of new media art, as it relates to topics we are researching.

For our research we would need to be able to contact you as a team and anyone you think had a part in creating this project, as the objective of our work is to create a theoretical way of conserving this work, and we would need some further information about the way it was created, how it works, your intention at the time of creating it, etc. 

We think this project could give you some positives as well, as we will give you all limited knowledge and experience on some strategies of how this type of art is being preserved as to right now; and also could give you a boost in the people you're reaching as our intention would be to publish the work somewhere public, so both other artists and researchers had access to it.

We'll be happy to hear back from you soon!

Thank you so much for your time,

Let us know if your team is interested in working with us, and we'll get in touch.

Bom, foi bem estranho, me fez pensar bastante sobre diversas coisas, nossa relação com as cidades, relações de poder, me fez lembrar sobre como é se sentir claustrofobico, confuso, perdido e no geral, tudo terminou na velocidade de uma musica, no final a vida deve ser assim né? passei o jogo inteiro querendo chegar no topo, desde o inicio, a partir de uma momento eu nem tinha mais um motivo, eu simplesmente uma ambição vazia mas depois que eu consegui, sinceramente eu tava tão vazio quanto quando eu comecei mas com a diferença de que agora eu tinha medo de cair e perder tudo sendo que eu não tinha nada, quanto mais alto eu subia mais eu não queria descer para no final, acabou, um fim tão vazio quanto o começo.

I truly wouldn't know how to describe this experience, so you should all just try for yourselves! I had a great time, and it made me think a lot about the relationship i have with the city i live in.

Such beautiful experience.

That was TRANSCENDANT. Like, holy shit! Beautiful.

(If anyone's wondering the game lasts around 7-8 minutes it seems like. So don't quit! There's some really stunning moments.)

This is very neat. Great atmosphere. Good job :)

there hasnt been a game in a while that has made me feel the way this one does. truly a cinematic masterpeice

when i saw this it gave me an idea of making the same thing but different

still dont know where to do 3d and make it pixels lol

非常好玩！推荐！*⁂((✪⥎✪))⁂*

Interesting game!

This made me cry. This touched me in a way nothing has in the last 6 months. Unbelievable. All I wish for in life is to create something that makes someone else feel like this has made me feel. I am stunned and in awe. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you.

This game reminded me of a dream i had some time ago. An ever chaning city almost like a labyrinth made of buildings I couldn't even see how high they reached. It made me feel small and lost and... alone between those weird shaped creatures that plagued the streets. 

This let me experience that dream again in a new but familiar way, almost felt made for me (the game is obviously vague and fuzzy so this feeling can happen to most people experiencing it).

Also, the ending gave me chills. Nicely done.

this was beautiful! the soundtrack and that diffused textural noise, loved it.

Experiences like this are some of my favorites to happen upon on this website. The audio and visuals were engrossing, but what stood out the most to me was the creative use of the constantly changing 'frame'. Having the experience locked to a set time progression was also a clever idea, because it instilled a sense of urgency behind the exploration, knowing that it was all going to end soon. Fantastic work by everyone involved in this little project

It was interesting to see that the balls that initially bothered me, once I got up in the air, didn't bother me at all!

A soft, gray city to get lost in for a little while.  The music, the lighting, and the visual textures all mesh perfectly. Loved how this piece ended.
