The writing style was really nice and it hooked me into playing even though I'm not much of a reader. Well done!

Really enjoyed reading and playing through this! The background was pretty and set a nice creepy mood for the game. (I died a lot tho teehee.)

Not my type of game BUT it was a pretty good story and a lot more options than I thought. So cool overall gg

Like the story and aesthetics, but without sounds the game feels not too scary.

Really nice text-based  game, I guess as others said the lack of sound hinders it a bit

I need more games like this.

Enjoyed the game fun enemy encounters and a lot of choices really nice text adventure. Only thing I would add would be some audio specially some background ambience sound or music to make you more immersed in the game.

Why is it so quiet in the woods I ask myself? Is it so the story has my full attention I wonder? I do like the writing but why am I feeling so sleepy? Is it the days on end with minimal sleep? Maybe it's me? The art style is nice and the story compelling so I just push on. I died and did some other unspeakable things *spoilers* and it was interesting. Just too quiet, deathly quiet...
