This is a really fun little game and clearly a labour of love. I was really impressed with the variety of mechanics in such a short game, and the pacing of the story too. And the music and art style are incredible.
I didn't really like this one. The writing is really awkward and reads like a machine translation. This leads to the story not being particularly clear. It's like reading a speedrun of a typical RPGMaker horror game. I also wasn't a huge fan of the choice made concerning the art (you may or may not get what I mean). Lastly, the puzzles shouldn't even be called puzzles. At most, they are memory tests.

very underrated!!! silly little fun puzzle game with hints of wlw and ambiguous relationships b/w women. i very much recommend this to anyone interested in the story :3
I enjoyed this game but achievements didn't work on the mac:)
Fun, interesting game that left me interested in the deeper world. I'm excited to see more from this dev, and definitely can't beat the price. The translation can use some work, though. It was distractingly bad in parts, but wasn't completely unintelligible.
This is an amazing game!! I had so much fun playing all the mini games and learning the truth of what happened. I'm honestly surprised such a good game is free
Short but polished, I can sense how the Dev wanted to develop a whole world.
Kinda short but the story is nice, can be develop into a 2nd game.
nice
I enjoyed the bits of story we find and the inclusion of the minigames, plus the art for all the characters was done well. I only wish there was more.
