What I particularly like about this one is the pacing. You don't take it too fast and you smartly leave most of the scary stuff implied, all of which really helps build the tension. It surprised me and didn't always go the direction I was expecting! The sprites were cute, too. My only issue was the backgrounds didn't feel like they matched the sprites that well.

Aw man, I kind of wish that the title screen didn't have the shadow. It would've made this mysterious and great for theories while playing. Like we could think maybe there's something out there that's a threat to pets! (with the cat's disappearance) Or that the puppy is a human that can transform into a puppy and fell in love with Eleanor, taking out other pulls of her attention so that they're the only thing she can give attention to.

Either way, short and effective! ^^ I liked it.

Accurate.
