What players say
What an amazing horrifying game, i had a lot of fun playing this. The villain is truly evil and demented, I found myself having to 100% this game and even though trying to get the good ending took awhile i was never bored doing it. Thank you to the creator for this game and i can't wait for more games from this creator.
probably not for many a genuinely sadistic undertone it almost seems like a fan fiction from a sadistic mind though in attention to detail and sheer ominous vibes the main bad dudes voice actor reminds me of someone i used to game with when i was little and suffice it to say he had a certain way about things in a bravado energy kind of way and a really similar demeanor subject matter aside has some really well and...
I was kind of enjoying it until I had to quit and continue. There is no save system and no good autosave so it sent me way back in the story. I'm not spending money to waste my time. More wasted money I guess.
