13 year old me would have loved this. As an adult it doesn't really hit that mark anymore but it's fun enough. Only real downside is the barebone music/sound which starts to get on your nerves within the first hour of playing.

Nothing to add to a review by aquatorrent below really, read it for in-depth detail. TL;DR – yet another 'disturbing horror' game of rather uninspired quality and poor UI/UX. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198132503739/recommended/2542460/

This a fun game. It is short but it is a good time. It feels like the creators had fun making this.

This is a game that was clearly an absolute blast to make, and you can really tell from basically every facet of it that the people involved truly loved what they were making. If you do check it out, definitely stick around for the secrets, they are worth it ;)

A pokemon creepy pasta made real. Great lore, a couple plot twists. I played 12 hours in 2 days. The only negative I found: 1.I wasn't able to solve a single keypad puzzle by my own. If they had been a bit easier, it would have been more enjoyable, and I would have experience the game in a deeper way. 2. The post-end content is a bit unclear. It's ther, but you don't know it until you randomly stumble upon it.
