I'm Struggling (Game)
A downloadable game for Windows
[I'm Struggling] Is a short atmospheric journey taking inspiration from a poem by Avalon complemented by the aesthetics of PS1-era graphics.
In the shadowed corners of a forgotten town, where dreams lie dormant and the weight of reality presses heavy, an echo of a poem unfolds.
This is not a game it's a reflection of the human spirit's resilience, a regret for lost dreams, and a quiet hope for a new beginning.
Will you find meaning in the shadows, will you find comfort in the ambiance or will it consume you ?

conheci esse jogo pelo youtube, e devo dizer que gostei bastante, mesmo não entendendo
muito o inglês
Amei o jogo e foi uma experência incrível.Gosto desse tipo de jogo pra refletirmos.
Amazing and beautiful experience, thanks for bringing this experience and the chance to check Avalon's YT channel.
Absolutely beautiful game.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for playing, I watched your playthrough, I love that you were stumped for words/jokes and really got immersed into the experience.
I love the atmosphere. I like games that are short and slow paced and leave you with something to think about. Especially the PS1-like kind. The only thing I didn't like are the controls, but it's nothing that should keep you from trying it for yourself!
<3 thanks for playing
Hey thanks for doing a playthrough, thank you for all the kind things you mention at the end, very humbling <3
Atmosphere is 10/10
This made me sad but it also made me feel solace knowing I'm not the only one thinking these thoughts. Great job. This is art.
<3
This is so good. A monologue on modern life is so well done, I really hope you continue making these types of games. Thank you for sharing this
Full Play NO Commentary
Hey thanks for playing and posting your thoughts! Love the playthrough <3
A thought provoking psychological experience.
The game had me thinking for a while after that ending. There is a uniqueness to this that I've not seen since "A Beginner's Guide", which is a phenomenal exploration of art, game development and the struggles of trying to create something unique. I did love the section with "ideas and thoughts". The atmosphere was brilliant. Fantastic job!
Can't wait to see more from you. Best of luck with the future projects.
Hey thanks for playing! I watched your video with a smile on my face the whole time! I appreciate your thoughts at the end of the video.
is it just me or the main character look like simon henriksson from cry of fear?
ain't no way its you again, will about forsake then yeah the game is good and dark I guess but yet it was like really short like the average horror game but the different is that this one cost a money which happily I didn't pay, but just to tell you something like important when you make your game cost money then people have reason to judge you like if I said your free game is bad you can just tell me not to play but when it comes to paid game then this is a different story you can't tell me not to play because I have paid for it, so hope you Remember that and I wish the best for you
look I am not saying forsaken if a bad game or anything, but come on like 15$?, you could've at least make the game longer because remember a buyer won't look for how much you spend on the game they would look on how long or good the game is, and I don't think you understand what I said so I'll try to make it easier for you, first of all I have played a lot of game in Itch.io and comments and reviews have nothing to do with that, second I myself believe that I can't say the game sucks online if I didn't pay anything for it like I'll just close the game, but if I did pay money for the game then I see a right to make demands like why is the game have no gameplay or why is the game too short, I hope you get it, anyway you do make great games and the fact that you don't use free assts make your game look a lot different from the other games, like no lie when I played the color man and last contract I though these games where made from a small team at least , and yes I didn't know these where your games to be honest I just found out
okay I AM sorry for like messing you a lot don't mean to annoy you just got one question and i want you to be honest like real honest, are you mad at me because I got forsake for free?
and by the way I have played a lot of your other games without like knowing it was you to be honest I just find out, but anyway you do make really good games that I can say better than forsaken like Final contract and that last one you did so whenever you like me or not I see you as a guy who knows how to make fun and short games and if you still not happy about me having a free copy of forsake then don't blame me I didn't crack it you put the game for free yourself and I happen to downloaded it then
This came at the perfect time. Thank you.
