Nice game. The sound is a bit overwhelming though. Also, is the MC dead or alive? I am not sure about that. In one scene the MCs eyes becomes red too.

Also, who is his father searching for?

I don't know if i would call it a game since it kinda lacks... a gameplay. But anyway, the artstyle is really good and i loved how the music stopped when the graved popped. Anyway, good job.

I appreciate how the game manages to balance sincerity and creepiness in equal measure. I like that the story orients around the memory of the boy, who can't see the unsettling undertones of their trips to the woods from the rest stop. So the story becomes around the incorruptibility of an innocent boy's memory, and the hints of all not being well in the adult world. Done briefly and elegantly. I'd love to know more about how you approached the story and what your take on the creepy beats are!
