It's an incredibly well made game by an amazing team! A must play to satisfy your eldritch detective needs: Uncover forbidden knowledge and figure out what is going on at a secluded cabin in the woods... Just beware, not all you see is true. 10/10!

I really liked the presentation, it was cute, yet still had a sinister feel to it. Honestly, it was a fairly average horror walking simulator, run around a spooky cabin and woods with a flashlight while completing your tasks and collecting pages. Yes, pages, but don't worry, this isn't a slender game. O.k., it sort of is later, briefly, but that's not what this game is all about. One of the endings (Cosmic) made me smile, I do love me some cosmic horror. If you have a half hour to an hour, and want a kind-of-cute-but-not-really spooky scawey time, check this one out.
