About It gets so lonely here
It Gets So Lonely Here is a text-driven horror visual novel where you flee through a dark forest pursued by an unseen threat, making choices that determine your fate across multiple branching story paths. This atmospheric 50,000-word tale stands out for its darkly comedic narrator, eerie custom artwork and soundtrack, and delightfully twisted multiple endings involving three mysterious girls and some genuinely disturbing consequences.

You are running through a forest.
It is late at night and the sky is as black as pitch.
The trees which surround you, jutting out of the earth like eerie monuments to a foreign god, are blotting out most of the moonlight.
You do not know where you are going.
You have no map; no route; no plan.
You have no desire, as you run, save to escape.
You cannot let yourself be caught.
All you can do is run, on and on and on...
But, despite all of your hard work, your best efforts will, invariably, be in vain. It’s already too late for you. After all...
You’ll never be able to escape from me.

- About 50k words of text (approx 2-3 hours of reading)
- A branching story with several choices
- 800x600 resolution for that old-timey aesthetic
- Custom character artwork
- A custom soundtrack which comes bundled with the VN
- Three(?) pretty girls who will love you to death
- Three exciting ways to die!!!
- An archly amused narrator who berates you for your poor life decisions
- Cannibalism ♥

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
It gets so lonely here is a free visual novel praised for its beautiful music, charming art direction, and atmospheric aesthetic, though some players note the writing feels somewhat incomplete with limited character development despite solid production values. Most reviewers recommend it as a worthwhile experience given its free price point, with particular appeal to fans of yuri romance and melancholic storytelling.
The story here is pretty average, because most of the characters lack depth. 6 hours have passed, and we still barely know anything about the protagonist [spoiler]except for her being a complete looser without any friends, but it's hard to be compassionate for her due to lack of details — who knows, maybe she's responsible for that herself, for example, by being socially awkward or extremely inadequate?[/spoiler] Overall, it's a descent experience (especially for a free novel) and is worth a try if you have several spare hours. Besides, the game has an exceptional soundtrack, which compensates the characters' flaws greatly.1 found this helpful
This is an enchanting little free game to play if you have a few spare hours. It has great environmental sound effects, a well wrote soundtrack that fit each character arc very well, and a cute character design style. It's focus on standing up to manipulators and seeing both perspectives made for interesting reading and a satisfying ending.1 found this helpful
The game was def a fun playthrough1 found this helpful
Nothing amazing but it's free and 3 hours long to see everything it's worth that much at least. Also made me experience more lesbian yearning which may or may not be a positive for you take that as you will
Really good game. I love the dark fairytale vibes. Man I feel bad for Rosette. I think I might've been able to survive the gravedigger girl if I were her..idk lol.
Yandere + Yuri? YES PLEASE!!! Short and sweet but well-written. The art is really cute!
