I really liked that one. It's a shame that the whale husband didn't do any more games.

Only the Intro and Ending 3 ([spoiler]leaving immediately[/spoiler]) were funny. After that, playing as the main character kinda sucked

good

Recommended Sep 26, 2025

Guys this game is top-tier story telling, and great soundtracks. It gives me chill watching the story unfold. It's not only the central story, the side-stories on secondary characters also gives you chills. I really love the vibe and the tempo of this game, it's done really well and seems like a signature feature now for Jesse (the game dev). [spoiler] The main character makes me feel repulsed and extremely uncomfortable, but I guess that's part of the charm of this story. [/spoiler]
