Amazing game with soothing self-made music! 10/10
I got this game for free at MängudeÖÖ 2025. It is a very short game, first time i beat it in around 30 mins but second time 16 minutes. The artstyle, the story and the soundtrack are all great and it was a nice little experience. I have found 2 endings.
Not too bad of a game; it has really nice art and music. The one thing I was disappointed in was how short it was. I just found a gun and thought I was getting good, then the game just ends. I thought it was going to be like RE4—kill cult members, solve puzzles, and escape but nope. I really hope the dev makes a sequel and adds more to the story.
Great short game. Very atmospheric with a delightful amount of cosmic dread!!!
col 🥶 mango funk 🥭🥭🥭
Good music! Short game. Atmosphere was moody, I liked the raining part and the glitching shader.
