— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“exactly as formulaic and derivative as you'd expect, but produced well enough that you can mostly forgive it as far as i know development of the full game has been pretty much abandoned, which is a shame considering how much potential the epilogue suggests”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“A short but impactful game! Beautiful music , great voice acting, creepy atmosphere with an intriguing story-line. A very well made and polished short game especially for free!”
