✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's distinctive visual style, atmospheric audio, reasonable price point, and short length that respects player time. However, the game is hampered by frustrating AI behavior where the antagonist seems unpredictable and unfairly aggressive, combined with several bugs including character freezing and softlock issues that force restarts, making progression feel unfair and tedious despite the intriguing premise and puzzle-horror concept.

I'm probably not gonna finish this. I really don't like this game. The guy checks on you way too often and doesn't seem to have an actually set path so he will frequently turn around and start chasing you for seemingly no reason. I knew what I need to do to continue and I can't do it because he keeps killing me in a way that doesn't feel fair at all and that extremely frustrating

I could refund the money for the game, but: 1) the game is not so expensive to return the money (if you return these crumbs, then there are reasons for that); 2) I want to support the authors of this little game Positive: 1) Visual style, light and uncomplicated. GG looks nice enough and I would make art with her if I'm not too lazy. 2) Shortness + price: The game doesn't force you to sit in it for 2 hours so that you can't get the money back, and at the same time, it asks for pennies for its meekness, not the price of a full-fledged game. 3)Audio accompaniment: As for me, all the sounds were thrown well and successfully. Cons: 1)Bugs + softlocks: for some reason, the following problems occurred: a) for some reason, the enemy did not want to leave one room, b) occasionally he ignored shelters and just knocked them out, c) sometimes he caught softlocks on the fact that the heroine was just hanging out and there was nothing to do except pick up objects/interactions (it was especially annoying at the very end, when I was almost he picked up the exit key) In general, in my subjective opinion, this studio's debut project can be rated at 8/10, there just wasn't enough experience.

Beat the game in less than 5 minutes and was disappointed to find the main character did NOT present herself in a bikini for my efforts.

HORRIBLE! The game is good, it's definitely entertaining. But I have to restart it 4 TIMES! Because there's a bug where if you throw an object and get hit at the same time your character freezes and you are unable to move or die so you have to restart from zero, since it is a short game it wasn't that bad but certainly annoying. I will recommend everyone to at least give it a try once. Is a puzzle horror game that tells a story through the background environment. Nice touch.

Intriguing artistic game about waking up in a basement and trying to escape from a hammer wielding crazy. Part side scroller, part puzzle game, part find X to get Y game. Overall it was pretty decent, and with its unique art style it felt like something quite fresh and different. Quite why they needed friendo to strip down to full baws oot im not sure but at least its something different.
