very interesting game, adore how detailed the descriptions of rot and decay are. made me hungry 4 pumpkin pie
very unenjoyable, was gross, vial, and depressing. still giving it a solid 10/10 though!
신체 분해에 대한 자세한 관찰 묘사가 나오는 BGM이 무서운 공포(?) 동화 게임. 선택지가 단 하나도 나오지 않기때문에 사실 게임은 아닙니다. 처음에 스토리 스킵을 눌렀더니 10초만에 모든 도전과제를 얻었습니다. 이후 스토리를 조금 보고자 다시 한번 플레이 해보았습니다. 별로 흥미롭지않은 그림 몇장과 텍스트가 전부라서 좀 지루하였습니다. 추천하기는 어렵습니다.

Pretty neat game :). For the price and the fact that this game only had 1 month to be made, it's good. The story isn't life changing or anything, but I think it's decently unsettling; I was rooting for the girl to escape. I did have to suspend my belief a bit for how quickly the dad flip flopped, though. While there's a bad review or two saying you could learn all the same from a wiki article, there's no fun in that. I like the glossary, timeline, and all of those extras you can look into! You can tell there was passion involved.
it was a great game to understand better about death process and grief.
Good story, not as scary as people make it to be imo
It's better to hear the hook of the story, and just imagine it. This game puts a lot of emphasis on the imagery and realism of the decomposition, but I wish that research and gradual descent was focused on the characters. The characters in this visual novel devolved into madness so fast that my suspension of disbelief couldn't keep up. It felt like the writers decided on crazy plot beats before writing it instead of having a natural flow of descent. This story didn't have the focus or patience for itself.
i mean anyone can read a wikipedia article describing the steps of decomposition, just knowing that and repeating it is not impressive enough to support this very short story or distract from the writing quality
Lo bueno que destaco del juego es que es bastante corto, en una media hora se puede completar muy fácil. Visualmente está bonito, luciendo como acuarela, creo que le da un toque propio al juego, y tiene una historia simple y directa que deja en claro su mensaje sobre la forma de manejar el duelo y cómo algo así puede perjudicar a la relación de una familia modelo. Debo destacar que me llamó la atención desde el inicio cuando escuché que hubo una investigación detallada detrás de cómo se descompone el cuerpo luego de morir, lo cuál me parece un detalle interesante. Me da la impresión de que el equipo detrás le tuvo cariño al juego y se nota a lo largo de la historia. Aún con todos estos aspectos positivos, debo admitir que no valió la pena por completo haber comprado esto. La historia tiene ciertas inconsistencias, o lo enseñan de manera muy apresurada. Yo creo que las situaciones del juego se prestaban para expandir un poco más a los personajes y cómo manejan todo esto, hablando principalmente desde el papá que tal vez queda un poco corto en su desarrollo. No es un juego interactivo, que ese es mi mayor problema. No tiene un mal precio, pero perfectamente una historia como esta pudo haberse visto a un libro o un corto más que un juego, ya que uno no interactua con nada más allá de estar leyendo los sucesos.
C'était a la fois horrible et très intéressant. J'aime beaucoup les dessins. Plus tu avance dans l'histoire tu remarque les petit rajout sur les dessins, pas énorme mais juste assez pour représenter l'atmosphère pesante. L'histoire est très bien écrit, le créateur de se jeu na pas menti, tu lisait détail par détail sur la décomposition d'un corp stage by stage. Mais bien évidement avec avec l'histoire de se jeu ça le rend plus perturbent pour nous. Je vais être très franche, j'ai jamais autant voulu vomir en lisant un novel. Plus tu lis plus qu'il y a de détail, mais sa te rend tellement addictif en même temps que tu veut savoir comment sa fini. Pour le monde qui aime les novel d'horreur je vous le recommande fortement. Bien évidement je le recommande à tout le monde mais âme sensible s'abstenir.
