A short and sickly sweet game that asks you to immerse yourself in its nostalgia. The story and the way it's communicated, without being too metaphorical, make it a masterpiece of psychological horror.1 found this helpful
What started off as a "ooo cheap game why not" turned into a night spent really thinking about my earlier years. This game dredged up some memories of my childhood I didn't even know I had and had me scared not of some cheap monster or loud noise but of the next punch to my psychological gut. For a few bucks you may never find another gem like this.1 found this helpful
what a weird f'n game what a great f'n game
very good atmosphere, i was interested throughout the experience, has an almost sad feeling thats hard to understand
Think most of it went over my head but it was well worth playing Also if jumpscares annoy you, there was only one for me, at the start of the game
just got done playing, and I just don't know where to start. the atmosphere is absolutely oppressive in the best way possible, I felt like I was being suffocated slowly as the world got darker. I don't think I'll ever quite understand the the story, but it made me feel both sad and nostalgic, like I was taking one last trip down memory lane whilst slowly dying in a coma. I can't recommend this game enough, just prepare yourself to feel sad? what an incredible piece of art <3 im gonna go pet my dog for like 3 hours or so
