This was truly beautiful. I loved the story, the colors and shape language in the drawings. And especially the last page with the historical context is really intresting!

I was shocked, most works- games and comics, are all weird unpolished underworked on queer stuff, but this work has REAL heart to it. I can really see the time you put into this. Awsome thanks for making this! The ending was really intresting, good pulp type story.

Nice and professional work!
Story is short, but it's like i have read a some long book of some old, classic writer.
(For some reason, this comic has this feeling ).
As for the ending - it wasn't shocking and heart-breaking for me, because i was expecting something like this from the start.
From the start, it has a tragic feeling...
Especially good thing was historical researches, author made - all this info about neolithic-Jordan valley-ancient civilizations... that was really interesting and i greatly respect that. It doesn't play any role in the story, though.
(By the way - woman has a very brazilian appearance!)
So - thanks to the author!

Oh! This was great, this was really great.

This comic reads super well as a PDF and I adored the pacing-- it was so easy to follow scene from scene and I loved seeing our mains here interact and get to know each other. The ending is shocking and heart breaking and really leaves your mind to fill in a ton of blanks (which I love in a story) and GOSH HEY I just loved this comic; thanks a ton for sharing it!

And as a last note; it would be great if you could leave a small content warning  on this page? Nothing was particularly wild in this comic; but I believe some readers are sensitive to nudity/sex/violence so a sentence describing some of that stuff might be great in your description above-- if that's not too much trouble!

Really looking forward to anything else you might release here on Itchio~ Have an awesome day!
