Great story, I really like the way you wrote this! I think it works really well to have this as a story being told as opposed to experiencing the story first hand. The character art is great too, awesome job!

The perfect creepy story to be told over a campfire at night. ✨ Terrific, terrific work!

I played it at night, loved the story! It's beautifully written. The art is wonderful! It's in tune with this creepy story. I don't usually play kinetic visual novels but I loved this one! Congrats ^^

(spoilers)

A nice spooky story that I can definitely see being told around a fireplace. I was not expecting the monster to remind me of Carpenter's The Thing; creepiness success! I like the characters, incl. their easy flowing dialogue and expressiveness. And the music and sfx, including that heartbeat, really suit the tone. I like how the story had that broader message of sometimes it being better not to know, and I think it's really well contained in the story that's told. Two small suggestions - mapping the Main Menu to a different keyboard key as some keyboards don't have the Fn key, and having the keyboard controls either on the game's itch page (because I forgot the keys quickly) or having buttons/links on screen the whole time.  A fun and definitely creepy VN!

Oh my goodness!! Thank you so so much for your kind words!! I seriously appreciate them so much!! And thank you for the suggestions as well!! I’ll certainly be taking them into account, especially regarding the keyboard controls, I’ll have those added to the itch.io page as soon as I can! <33
