I finally have time to play this, i've been busy for weeks and I was really excited to play this game and it didn't disappoint.  The whole game just ooze creepiness and the writing and plays a big role with that.  I was really surprise with the ending. Everyone should give this a read, it's really good.....

This was outstanding! Very, very creepy.  The dream sequences kept me on edge, and how mundane most of the story was had me constantly waiting for the shoe to drop. And when it did, I wasn't prepared at all!

The sprites and backgrounds here are truly fantastic, and the very unique CGs during the dream sequences were very cool looking. And of course, I was really impressed by the writing; knowing how it ends really re contextualizes a lot of what happened prior. 

I think I'll be giving this one another read through, and a recommendation to my friends; it makes for a perfect Halloween season read!

Thanks! I put alot of R&D, alotta time in the lab trying to make those dream sequences unnerving. And I'm glad the art caught your eye too! That justifies the amount of canvasses and paint I have cluttering my room now, lol! (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))

A friend asked me to check out this game, as a tvTropes addled AuHD individual, I didn't see the ending coming

"How many rats do make a king?"

Absolutely amazing visuals. The lovely backgrounds and cute character designs perfectly enhance the horror this story delivers! Also, really loved talking with Nathan about loneliness. That was very well well written!

Thank you for making this game!
