(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!
