Very cool atmosphere and writing that you can smell it. Despite the monster frightening (or hot?) appearance, it was that one line from MC talking about their friend that inflicted fear and frustration in me.
My suggestion and criticism so far; Would of liked a Go-Back or progress button instead of entire screen since I misclick twice and had to restart. There were two scenes that felt like bad timing but it did not interrupt the story flow.
Overall; a satisfying ending with a breath of relief. The visual and audio cue is very appealing, really digged it. Everyone needs a Gardener in their life.
