Game description
A very short adventure game with multiple endings and secrets.
Explore a ghost town's abandoned school, and try to understand what happened to the inhabitants.
Discover the truth, but at your own risk... Some secrets are best left alone, and as they say, "curiosity killed the cat".
Theme interpretation
Story-wise, it's about uncovering the secrets of a ghost town, and how dangerous they are.
Gameplay-wise, it's a game with hidden passages, secret endings and hidden interactions.

Wow, got ending 2/4. Was one piece of info shy. Anyway, beat the dog guy to death with my fists. This girl is having one strange morning, though I like to think she just leaves to get coffee afterward. I like the risk and reward mechanics based on your stats, and the way the physical or psychological events can play out kinda reminds me of disco elysium. The artwork is good, but you probably already know that. It's a very visual game. Thank you for us play your game!
Loved it it reminds me of some flash games
Awesome adventure , loved the graphics and the simple gameplay
Thank you a lot!!
Very cool game, and actually follows the "secrets" theme, as it as mechanic of how much secrets you uncovered on the run. Could only get two endings, as I tried to take hits to both hp and sanity, but I didnt even manage to die while trying twice. Also found the blue door, but no idea how to get any of the stars.
Thank you a lot! Glad you enjoyed my take on the theme! I don't know how to use spoiler text on itchio, so I can answer you (for now!), but thanks again for trying out the game!
I just tried your game, it was pretty cool; I especially liked the characters, design-wise and in the writing!
Very, very nice art. The story was neat, although I didn't fully understand it. The leitmotifs for the blue guy was cool.
Nice submission.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Just tested and rated your game, it was pretty fun!
Very high quality game! Excellent graphics, atmospheric audio, well developed story line and user friendly UI. I particularly appreciate the white spots highlighting clickables, as knowing where to click in adventure games can be frustrating, so thanks!
Hey, thanks a lot! All you kinds words go straight to my heart!
Haha yeah, clicking around can be such a headache!
I'm LOVE the atmosphere of this game.
Great work!
Thank you a lot!!
I played multiple times to get all of the endings, amazing job!
Wow thanks, I'm glad you liked the experience!
Impressive work for a solo dev!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
The twist was amazing! The art and music were next level.
Thank you very much, I'm very happy to hear it!
Your game is really cool too, I liked the mix of dialogues and mini-games!
Simply fantastic! It's cool to see a Ren'Py game that doesn't have the usual vn format
Thank you a lot!
Just tested your game, it's super fun!
The art looks really good! Paired well with your background music and sound effects.
I feel the gameplay was simple and really let you focus on the art, writing, audio.
The path felt very linear, if there were more choices throughout the gameplay I would have gotten more of an urge to replay to try those other paths.
Great game!
Thank you very much!
I agree: I would have liked to put more different paths, but I ran out of time for that. I had to restrict myself to one hidden branching off, and a few endings based on interactions on the same path. Thanks for your feedbacks, and thanks for testing out the game!
Hey! I just played your game and wow! First off your art style in your work is amazing, I'm surprised you were able to do so many assets and scenes within 30 days, and then on top of that code the functionality for all of it. Do you make your own dialogue system or do you have a premade asset you use? Overall, I really like the story you came up with, it flows great and it felt like I was in a movie the whole time.
Thanks a lot, glad to hear you liked it!
I made the game in Renpy, which is originally a visual novel engine. The dialog system is part of its basic functionality, I just had to adapt the shapes of the windows, and add the point n click features.
This game is absolutely gorgeous. The art is mind-blowingly good!
Wow, thank you so much!!
Your game was great too, really appreciate the “board game” aspect, and the visuals (especially the character designs, which are very fun!).
