This was a lovely game. I enjoyed the story quite a lot, and the shadows were quite unsettling!
I thought the heartbeat mechanic was really cool. It added an extra layer of anxiety to the whole thing. (And I will admit, the chase sequence in the woods, especially with the good ending, had my heart pumping a bit!)
I hope that Ryo ends up with a happy life in either ending, but I'm very glad he has his uncle to rely on in the good ending. Both Ryo and Mr. Hunter just deserve so many hugs ;-;
You did a great job with this game, and especially with programming it in such a short amount of time! I look forward to any future games you might make ^-^
