Your Voice in the Autumn Leaves
A downloadable game for Windows
"If you hold my hand...
I promise I won't let you go...
I will always protect you...
I'll always be with you..."
After his girlfriend Kaori broke up with him, 17 year old student Kure isolated himself from the world, spending his time home, heartbroken, listening to sad indie songs and playing videogames. Then, one day, outside the Hospital where his mother works, Kure met someone very special: a girl named Autumn, who has been diagnosed with cancer and is trying to assimilate her situation. That day would change their lives forever...
Your Voice in the Autumn Leaves is a short visual interactive story about love, friendship, sadness and life itself. This is a very personal game as I'm battling cancer myself and I put a lot of my heart on it. I hope you enjoy it! Be warned though: this game will probably make you cry...

It is definitely bittersweet, more bitter than sweet, but is also something very relatable for anyone, and it reminds us of something that even tough we all know, we tend to forget in the big scheme of things some times, and it's good that a beautiful little game like this reminds us of it. I hope I did justice an was respectful enough during my playtrough. I will live my life to the best of my abilities and I will try to find happiness.
Keep up the good work.
Hikiyami, thank you so much for taking the time to play and record a gameplay of this little game! I get very emotional just by listening to the OST, so watching a gameplay means a lot to me. There's not a lot to say, your comments and words in the video are perfect.
I know a lot of people think I'm a weirdo with an obsession for cake and that my games shouldn't exist (or that they are too disturbing), but I think this is proof that I'm able come up with something completely different and treat it with a lot of respect.
This game was created as a mean of catharsis and it kinda reflects how I feel about cancer, an illness I've been battling for 4 years (I thank the Lord for still being here, and I try to make the best of my life)
First Oddrietta and now I kinda want to remake this game on MZ with a visual novel style hahahah
Anyway
As always, thank you so much Hikiyami! I never thought someone would play my older games, specially this one which certainly isn't stream material and a lot of people would probably find boring, but I think it's a nice little story that has a nice message
What a sweet, sad game! I really liked the graphics in this. The characters looked so cute!
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Making this game was a bit heartbreaking, and it was really hard testing it because I had to experience that mix of happiness, sadness and hope all over again. But I'm really happy with the final result, even though it's a fairly short game, and I also hope it reaches a lot of people and helps them appreciate their lives and their loved ones more!
It seems I overlooked some typos and grammar mistakes (e.g. "tumour", "all the day", "...always part of me"). I'll try to correct them and upload an updated version with those fixes soon! Still, I don't think they really affect the experience!
