Played at EGX2023 from start to finish, absolutely beautiful game, I got emotional for hours after playing it!
I loved every single thing about the game. You guys have a bright future. I'm willing to play this game over and over again!
I'm a simple gamer who adores these kind of games. Please let me know if there's a chance to support the team, I'd be happy to oblige!
love the game thank you
Oh my god. This was AWESOME. The story itself was told with so much emotion and whack onto that the most perfect music to go with it and then the atmosphere is your just there, living her story as you go through the stations. Beautifully done and a massive congrats to all involved... :)
your game is not working in mine... it's all just blank.............................. T_T
you can see my VOD here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1312669180
I thought the game was stuck at first, but apparently it's all black........
Hey! Sorry, only just saw your comment. That's super weird, not a bug we've seen before. Thanks for letting us know, we'll look into it.
and the VOD is gone from my Twitch channel already... the problem was like this: I launched the game, everything went black, but I could hear sound from the game...
Really enjoyed this neat little game from this new team of developers. Impressed by the graphics, sound, music and was pleasantly unsettled by the dark, horror nature of the whole thing. Great job!
This game is well made with a splash of every emotion. Excellent writing and atmosphere! Game here:
Please subscribe to my YouTube channel.I've never had a horror game scare me and make me feel sad 😥 Excellent game! Sound and graphics are great. Really good build up in story..I loved it 😀 Game start at 16:00
Bravo. In under fifteen minutes, my heart felt curiosity, fear, and catharsis! A must play for those light horror/surreal gamers out there!
