Very well written and I have to say I didn't expect the twist at the ending.

I played this on my twitch stream for indie spooky holiday game vibes, and had a good time -- as we always do with Stanwixbuster games!

Wow, good stuff. Sun disappearing pals ! I like how real your characters feel. I got invested in them so easily. It's a testament to your writing skills, nice job !

Edit : And I just realized how the scene with the insects relates to the previous story. Genius.

The writing was fantastic and I'm really impressed with all the little bells and whistles you implemented that are not visible to the player.

This was quite interesting, it impressed me how much emotion you can communicate with just moving the characters and the writing is top notch!

I'm a sucker for old school game aesthetics like this one's pixel art. Great work!
