A dark lesbian horror/romance story so toxic it's emitting spores. Ethel, a shy university student, ventures into the wintry woods late at night, where she meets an enchanting femme fatale — but all is not as it seems.

About

Ethel Briggs is a shy, self-conscious girl in her final year of university. Though she should be working on her thesis about Romantic poetry, her well of inspiration has run dry. After a nasty break-up with her former girlfriend, Clementine, Ethel is feeling very blue — and it certainly doesn't help that she's spending the winter holidays in the depressingly drab village of Oxbury, while her family are off holidaying in sunny Australia.
Left to her own devices, Ethel struggles to finish her thesis while the cold, wintry wind blows outside and the days continue to get shorter and darker.
Staying inside proves to be unbearable, however, and Ethel escapes the confines of her family's home for a breath of fresh air. Going for a walk in the woods should be enough to invigorate her, and fill her with newfound passion for Romanticism.
That was Ethel's plan, at least — but she wasn't counting on meeting a mysterious, dark-haired beauty in the woods, who is much more than she seems.

verdict: 11/10. i knew exactly what was coming and i cried for 10 minutes whilst my bff laughed at me at the end anyway. game so good i want to kill myself and i would absolutely let a fungi hivemind puppeteering the body of the cute girl that they consumed previously 3 years ago consume my corpse as well and take my body over as their new host
seattle simulator with crazy emotional baggage involved
I really wish I was Ethel here (also REALLY good VN DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE!!)
套着姛皮的黑暗小故事,故事极短且全程没有任何恋爱要素,越看到后面越生气,恨不得钻进屏幕一把火点了这神秘野生菌子。 没人点不推荐是吧,那我也不点,独吃史不如众吃史。
It's quite the unusual yuri but well it's really good in it's own special way. Also you could name this "Their Love, Like Poison"
I guess I like mushrooms now
[h1]Uma história de mofar o seu coração [Eng and Pt-Br review] [/h1] Eu amo a escrita da Ebi-hime. Dessa vez temos um yuri com uma arte linda e mais uma vez um tema interessante! O desenvolvimento da personagem principal é muito bom, a discussão sobre o passado, sobre personagens que nem aparecem no jogo ficou muito boa, é como se o mundo acontecesse independente da MC, aumentando a sua melancolia e depressão. As metáforas nesse jogo, entre mofo, idade e apodrecer são lindas!!! E adoro a ousadia no enredo desse jogo. É excelente!!! [hr][/hr] [h1]A story to mold your heart [Eng and Pt-Br][/h1] I love Ebi-hime's writing. This time we have a yuri with beautiful art and once again an interesting theme! The development of the main character is very good, the discussion about the past, about characters that don't even appear in the game, was very well done, it's as if the world happens independently of the MC, increasing her melancholy and depression. The metaphors in this game, between mold, age and decay, are beautiful!!! And I love the boldness in the plot of this game. It's excellent!!!
奔着画风买的,我感觉正常人前期可能还是吐槽,后期这剧情真得生气了吧,还有日后谈突然扯bg到底啥意思,百合都一坨,咋还有异性恋的事,所有人一买一个不吱声是吧!(恼
i’m a huge fan of the concept, but the execution was disappointing. it is very repetitive and has a tendency to ramble about stuff that doesn’t really matter. even though it’s only two hours long, it felt like it was wasting my time. it’s also very referential, which personally bothered me and took me out of the story. the two girl’s chemistry was good at least.
Creepy lesbo game 11/10.
