What players say
A great grotesque game with a really cool art style, interesting gameplay mechanics, and disturbing story. I really enjoyed the scathing critiques of speciesism throughout. The art style makes some aspects of navigating through certain terrain a bit difficult, but overall I would recommend this game.

Es un absoluto encanto, la combinación perfecta de puzzles, sigilo y (algo) de combate, un estilo visual adorable + macabro que siempre pega bien en el terror, y una historia escalofriante y muy atrapante. No es particularmente difícil o fácil (aunque si tiene modos de dificultad para cada gusto) y tiene la particularidad de haber distintas formas de resolverlos si uno tiene los objetos, hace la solución un poco mas...
a really well done 'cute-horror' that reminds me very much of the classic RPGmaker games. which is absolutely a compliment, if you weren't sure. the art is gorgeous, and perfectly nails the tone, and it's got some surprisingly stellar world building in it. i'm definitely gonna keep my eye on what this dev does next, because this is a good game
