About “Four Months Earlier”
Prologue: “Four Months Earlier” is part one of the story. Linda is visiting Russell in Los Angeles, where he now lives. We join them halfway up a hiking trail. You must walk them to the top. Linda is using a stick and is unable to move as quickly as Russell. Keep them within earshot and they’ll chat about Linda’s visit and the past, while trying to find the right time to bring up what’s weighing on their minds.
There are multiple endings based on the choices you make — one of which involves Joan, who is at home in Hereford, UK.
Play in Normal Mode (walk Russell, Linda follows) then try Challenging Mode (walk both Russell and Linda).
This is a free, standalone experience. It will take 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
Story, art, development by Russell Quinn; an artist, designer, and programmer. Co-creator of Webby Award-winning “The Silent History” and “The Pickle Index.”
Featuring original music by Jeremy Warmsley.

The Story is Cute
The game itself was just very boring, but the story was cute. It was mostly just walking and there wasn't much else. i was thinking that the actual release of the game would be much better, but the demo wsa kind of dry. Condolences to the creator of the game however, this must have been a very difficult time in your life, and I appreaciate you creating this game to share your story with the world. It must have been very difficult.

Moved me to tears at 5 AM.
Sitting here not being able to go back to sleep, I downloaded this game for the hell of it. Little did I know, how simple but beautiful it would be. I have a very close relationship with my mother who I love more than anything. I’m 21 and she’s 50 and I think she still has quite some time left. Although as she gets older, it crosses my mind the day she will leave. I always try to make every moment special. After reading further about the story behind this game, I’m sitting here crying my eyes out at 5 AM! So powerful. I hope the creator knows what a beautiful & unique game this.
