There is only this one note, it reads: "Since I started living here alone, the nights felt endless. I barely remember if my halls have been this way before. Lately I hear the sounds of my work from behind the walls. The plates are shattering over and over again. I’m just making things up again, am I not? There was never anything wrong with...
And even if, it changes nothing — what matters is that I simply must continue and make, make…

Good and short horror game that had some good tension as well. Overall I liked the story of destroying your house to save yourself from an imaginary threat and the game itself is pretty straight forward so I would recommend https://youtu.be/2UKKj_uBIzg7 found this helpful
I started off thinking it was generic horror shovelware but honestly this is a really cool short game3 found this helpful
fun little game. A little confusing at the beginning, but became very fun and I had a few scares.3 found this helpful
Funny, great atmosphere, and great gameplay. I didn't like the post house part though.1 found this helpful
Fantastic, deeply compelling little horror game, with some great tricks, scares, and a sense of panic unlike what I've felt from a horror game since FNaF, and yes, that's a compliment. I also have questions, many of them. For a half-hour game to slide a rabbit hole that big underneath me is a work of elegant genius by the devs, I think. Not just what it all means, but how it all connects. I'd voice more questions but I don't want to risk spoiling anything; I'd rather be safe than sorry. c;1 found this helpful
