A horror tale involving a streamer and an obsessive fan. The game is really easy to get into, and it's not that long. The hand-drawn art style is simple; it kind of reminds me of Annie and the Art Gallery. There's actually some decent realistic VA, and I love how the soundtrack is used to convey some terror. This is a pretty good game, especially so if this is the dev's first game. I would like to see a bit more story like this expanded upon from them if they wish to continue.6 found this helpful
This game is short and easy to complete, and despite it insisting you should grab a controller, you can play it just fine without one. It throws you right into the obsession-based horror and maintains the uneasiness throughout, although it doesn't really explain what the horror actually is or why it's happening (I feel like Veil is meant to be a metaphor for Nyx's insecurities about how her fans see her, but I'm not really sure). I appreciate how it addressed the often overlooked darker side of streaming and how difficult and draining it can be. The music and visuals were simple but effective enough, and I appreciate how the game was fully voice acted. I wish the player's choices mattered a bit more, though. Since it's free, I'd recommend it if you're looking for a mildly creepy visual novel to fill a bit of time.2 found this helpful
A short and easy horror game. There isn't much to do though. The achievements are mostly easy, though i think i got stuck on one for a while. While it is simple and the graphics is pixelated 2d, it is still nice and fun to play.2 found this helpful
Lesson learned: don't become a Vtuber.1 found this helpful
Easily-digestible amateur flick. Competent for what it attempts, though I admit I either didn' t get what the developer was trying to say, or didn't at all care for it. Full English voice acting and a translation into German, of all things. Also, just about the last place I'd expect to see a VA-11 HALL-A plug. Can they even do that?1 found this helpful
nice short game about an obsessive fan with a streamer, would love if it had a bit more length but it was still amazing and the minigames were super fun too! overall: recommended!
