What players say
I loved this game so much. The writing, art direction, and overall feel is just amazing. I love point and click games, and this one did not dissapoint. I personally think its worth more than the requested price, and I really hope this studio makes more games. I really can't say anything bad about it, I can't wait to play it more and unlock more endings. Thank you Studio Sott!! There are currently no walkthroughs for...

Fun little game with a nice aesthetic and setting. About 2 hours of gameplay to reach the true ending, but for the price this game is offered at, its worth picking up to play through yourself
The vibes are immaculate and sometimes terrifying. Lovely game, i highly reccommend it!
