Honestly, this game deserves so much more love. 💜 The story was incredible, and the whole experience was so good that I genuinely think it could make an amazing anime. The atmosphere, the characters, the twists… everything just worked so well together. Sure, some parts could get pretty challenging and frustrating, but that never changed how much I loved this game. Just unlocked every achievement and 100% completed it. 🏆 What a hidden gem. I’d love to see this story brought to life as an anime someday. ✨

I initially found the demo for this game on Newgrounds years ago (I think around 2021-22) while looking around aimlessly, and figured I'd give it a shot. I got stuck on a boss, so I gave up and moved on. A while later (sometime in 2023) I found it again on Newgrounds and gave it another shot, and after some trial and error, I got past the boss. I made a bit of progress, then found out that it was on Steam, so I restarted and finished it here. I liked the story and thought the art style and characters were cute. The cutscenes were really well done and I think the creator did well making Ann a silent protagonist.
