(spoilers)
You managed to make an adorable little kitty into a truly terrifying eldritch horror. There's an incredibly heavy sense of dread mid-game, that no matter what you do it's never right. Coupled with dialogue of just giving up and succumbing to whatever was happening made the horror feel so much more real. I also like that a lot of the horror is implied and not explicitly showed. It allows the player to imagine something personally terrifying to them.
I loved the animation and sound design. Clearly a lot of love was put into this game. The mini games were a fun touch, although the final game went on a touch too long imo. The maze was a very unique mini game that was perfectly balanced, not super long or easy to the point it became boring, but not prohibitively difficult either. The prologue fake-out was clever and definitely had me confused for a sec there.
I appreciate that the endings felt pretty intuitive, if you just go through all the choices you'll get everything. And the true ending...oh boy. As someone who left an abusive relationship, it was so familiar. It really helped me reframe some of my experiences and, in some small part, helped me heal.
One of itchio's finest games, without a doubt.
