About
Lizzy is a girl living in The Boarding, a walled city surrounded by fog. All who live here serve the mysterious Mother Matron, its revered leader who hasn’t been seen in person in many years. Periodically, the Mother Matron selects residents to become Surveyors, tasked with exploring the dark unknown tunnels that lie underground to find the key to a better future for the collective. The odds of survival are slim to none. It is an honor and a death sentence. One day, Lizzy finds herself on the draft...
Using your wits and quick thinking, you must guide Lizzy through the dangers beneath. Will you survive? Will you find Paradise? Or will you be lost to the dark forever?
For Mother Matron is a passion project inspired by Silent Hill, Spirit Hunter: Death Mark, bizarro fiction, and the works of Thomas Ligotti.

i had lots of fun playing this game, it took my about 3 sittings to fully get through the game. This was a very interesting story!
Didn't finish the game yet. Cried 10/10
This is a really good game. I played it in full on a separate account, and over all its really well done. While I would have enjoyed a little more plot in the [spoiler] cave esc area when you receive the note, (I can't remember what it's called) where you go down there with Pux and Rich. [/spoiler] It would have been cool to have that go on a little longer, but other than that its amazing. As someone that currently deals with horrific things in life, it really touched me and made me feel less alone. I can really relate to the whole "existence is just suffering, and it may have been better to have not existed at all" and I think it conveys a good message, and theme. Loved this game. Would play again.

Nice horror story.
Психологический хоррор в формате визуальной новеллы: игрок в роли Лиззи исследует мрачные туннели под уединённым городком Особняк, сталкивается с угрозами на грани жизни и смерти и раскрывает тёмные тайны под руководством загадочной Матушки‑Патронессы. Плюсы: гнетущая атмосфера — монохромная палитра с редкими яркими акцентами и тревожный саундтрек усиливают чувство тревоги и изоляции; глубокий нарратив — история затрагивает экзистенциальные темы, побуждая задуматься о природе страха, зависимости и человеческой сущности; качественное аудиовизуальное оформление — выразительная 2D‑графика, озвучка персонажей и продуманный дизайн локаций создают эффект погружения. Минусы: жёсткие временные ограничения — в критических ситуациях нужно быстро выбирать вариант действий, что может привести к частым «проигрышам» и нарушить погружение; высокая степень мрачности — тяжёлая тематика и депрессивный настрой подойдут не всем, могут вызвать дискомфорт; линейность повествования — несмотря на несколько концовок, влияние выборов на общий сюжет ограничено. Итог: заинтересует поклонников психологических хорроров и глубоких визуальных новелл — впечатляет атмосферой, философским подтекстом и качественной реализацией аудиовизуальных элементов, но может разочаровать стрессовыми моментами с таймером, чрезмерно мрачным тоном и ограниченной вариативностью сюжетных развилок.
