Short platformer puzzle game with the most scripted events and cutscene i've every seen in a pixel game. In my opinion, it should have been used sparingly, however they are very well made.

A great pixel art horror game which tells a story which stays with you a long time after playing.
What can i say about this game ? It was short but beautiful to be honest made me cry at the end . The atmosphere is really nice kinda dreamy you see the reality through 3 perspectives depending from the character you play and everyone faces different chalenges the music also is really nice goes along well with story i loved it to be honest i especially liked the little kid with her rabbit and the spirit fox .
