Short and very good. The art in the game is very beautiful and the music gave the game a bit of an eerie feeling, especially at the start when you don't know what's happening, I really liked it. Great little horror game!
Fun, short little game with a nice little story. Hope the dev makes another one in the same vein.
Jogo é curtinho e com a arte linda. Mas tem bastante bugs bestas, fiquei presa duas vezes em uma porta por motivo nenhum e tive que começar o jogo do zero, oq foi bem frustante.

Adding this to my collection of little unknown folk horror gems... such a beautifully crafted little story with gorgeous visuals and sound design. Spooky enough that I struggled falling asleep the night I played it and even revisited it in my dreams.
Short game, wish there was more content, because the story has so much potential. Would definitely hope for a sequel of some sort. Would reccommend this game if you enjoy short games and exploring your own interpretations and analysis.
Amazing little pagan-inspired RPGMaker horror game.
I loved the art in the game. The music added to the story being told. I am glad there was on-screen text for the writing on the page. The game is very well organized and clear as far as where to go with the pop-ups when going too far away from the objective as well as the To Do List. The story line left me wondering what it all means allowing the viewer to place their own conclusions. I enjoyed this story and game overall.
Strange combination of fear and hunger and yummy Nikki vibes
A short, free and quite curious narrative experience. Definitely worth a try, especially given how well-crafted the art is too.
its short and the art is nice
