(Tim) This one really creeped me out. There was a recent period in my life where I'd have nightmares about body decomposition because of a death in the family, and this weirdly enough has helped me come to terms with death a bit better. Memento mori is weird.

I also really like how the pumpkin head is quite on brand for Thugzilla, of object head VN fame. Moreover, the music is excellent and added a lot to the atmosphere.

Definitely one of my favorite Spooktober VNs, and I predict that this one will have quite a lot of staying value in the OELVN literature.

O-Of object head fame?! You're too kind! :D I'm glad you enjoyed this. Pumpkin Eater actually came from a nightmare of mine about a year ago, where I was on some pretty rough SSRIs where one of the side effects was "abnormal dreams". It was so realistic, detailed, and bizarre that I wrote it down and finally became a VN! I haven't dealt with a close death in the family, God willing, but a while ago one of my professors passed away in a complete freak accident, and I would say morbidly inspired me with the theme of denial and grief. Memento mori is definitely weird.
