A short and easy horror game. There isn't much to do though. The achievements are mostly easy, though i think i got stuck on one for a while. While it is simple and the graphics is pixelated 2d, it is still nice and fun to play.
There's not that much to the "story" and I wish choices mattered more, but I enjoyed it anyway. The rhythm (mini)minigame is just easy enough for me, and the art and music set a really fun mood.
Easily-digestible amateur flick. Competent for what it attempts, though I admit I either didn' t get what the developer was trying to say, or didn't at all care for it. Full English voice acting and a translation into German, of all things. Also, just about the last place I'd expect to see a VA-11 HALL-A plug. Can they even do that?

Çevrimiçi kişiliği çok daha rahatsız edici bir şeyle bulanıklaşmaya başlayan VTuber Nyx'in dünyasına adım atın. Akım Karanlıklaştıktan Sonra kimliği, kişisel algıyı ve performans ile gerçeklik arasındaki kırılgan sınırı araştıran kısa bir psikolojik korku görsel romanıdır.
На любителя
Психологическая визуальная новелла с элементами хоррора: игрок берёт на себя роль VTuber Никс и исследует конфликт между публичным образом и внутренней реальностью. Сюжет затрагивает темы самоидентификации, одиночества и давления славы в цифровую эпоху. Плюсы: Глубокий эмоциональный нарратив — история затрагивает актуальные психологические темы, позволяя взглянуть на цену онлайн‑славы и проблему аутентичности; Несколько концовок — решения игрока влияют на развитие сюжета и финал, стимулируя повторное прохождение для изучения всех вариантов; Атмосферное оформление — ручной рисунок подчёркивает контраст между ярким онлайн‑образом героини и её внутренними переживаниями, а саундтрек усиливает эмоциональное воздействие. Минусы: Короткая продолжительность — основная история проходится за один‑два сеанса, что может не оправдать ожиданий игроков, ищущих масштабный опыт; Субъективная подача хоррора — акцент на психологическом напряжении, а не на скримерах или экшене, из‑за чего игра может показаться недостаточно «страшной» поклонникам классических хорроров; Ограниченная интерактивность — геймплей сводится к выбору реплик и решений; отсутствие мини‑игр или иных активностей делает процесс монотонным для тех, кто ждёт большего взаимодействия. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам визуальных новелл и психологических драм — впечатляет личным нарративом, вариативностью финалов и художественным стилем. Может разочаровать из‑за небольшой длины, мягкого подхода к хоррору и минималистичного геймплея.
nice short game about an obsessive fan with a streamer, would love if it had a bit more length but it was still amazing and the minigames were super fun too! overall: recommended!
Lesson learned: don't become a Vtuber.
A 5/10 experience with a 10/10 earworm. I’m not saying it's bad, but my head hurts...
