OH GOSH.
Just finished and still just sitting here taking it all in. What a ride this was, DANG! Even from the very beginning upon opening the game, you're immersed in the world, style, and colors, from the wonderfully done (animated!) title screen to the subtly creepy and ambient music to the AMAZING BGs. Literally each BG always gave me chills when they popped up on screen. I'm so in love with the colors and art style!!! Everything works together SO well and creates this chilling stark atmosphere that's like being transported straight into a comic book.
I had a ton of fun with the interactive segments! From the little point and click moments to the puzzles! Admittedly, the second and third puzzles took me awhile, especially the third one... BUT!! I PUSHED THROUGH AND WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THEM. I somehow felt quite proud of myself afterwards LOL
The story is wonderfully dark and surreal. I enjoyed learning about little bits and pieces of the mystery as it went along. And holy crap did those... "transportive"(???) scenes towards the end give me the chills! I fell in love with Hendrik the moment he came on screen. I do have a thing for unhinged characters, and his little shadowy sprite was so well done and deliciously creepy hehehe 🤭 AND GUH THE ENDING. HELP. Oh god, the way it leaves everything open dklfjasdlkfjas it just left me with this weird guttural sense of "off"-ness even after it went back to the title screen.
Just a wonderful little treat! I enjoyed it immensely and it was amazing at really sucking you in immediately. Super polished and well done!! 💕
