Great atmosphere and writing. The choices and interactivity were all well done. The music tracks were great, but at times felt a little short. The image effects and small uses of color were nice visual touches that suited the storytelling.  Great entry overall, powerful and well-rounded stuff!

Developer

I appreciate that, tysm! And I agree, I think I could do good to extend some of the tracks so that they don't leave silent gaps or repeat too quickly.

Very interesting way of telling such a moody story. Top marks for that.

A captivating story, very well written. Sometimes spooky, sometimes poetic, accentuated by the fitting music you created a marvelous atmosphere. Great work!

Developer

A great visual novel with a breathtaking story. The visual style sets a perfect mood for the game. Would have been nice to have more choices and things to examine. The name of the game is a fun reference to the game too. Well done!

I really appreciate that, thank you! I agree, I also wish I had put more choices and examining features in the game, working a job and making this cut short some ideas I had for it.

Wow, I really liked this game! The surreal, dreamlike, atmosphere was simultaneously unnerving and beautiful. The writing was great and the audio and illustrations added another dimension to the experience. Oh, and I love the unusual aspect ratio of the game!
