✦ AI summary
Players praise this short game for its striking art style, atmospheric storytelling, and voice acting, describing it as a creepy yet engaging experience that explores psychological themes. The main complaint is that it's quite brief and could have benefited from more content, though most players still found the experience worthwhile despite its length.
very short and definitely not sweet game, violet got some demons fr
I really enjoyed this game! Great story and its free! <3
great art and imagery Violet's character design is the perfect match of cute but giving off a feeling of uneasiness. but the writing goes into “tell and show as well”. Your game spoon feeds the player the story and info. Ex for info: Violet sees there are pages missing in a book, a simple way to show this is the last pages are ripped out. maybe she says "oh the last pages are torn" we don't need her explaining that she will find it later, it’s redundant. Ex for story: Violet goes to the shed and explains that there's not a single good memory there. You can keep it at that that makes a thought in the players head of why? And gets explained in the husband's journal later. As well as violet explaining what's in the shed, why? If info needs to be shown that the tools are gone. make it another place to walk in like the house. and show there are obvious imprints where the tools were now missing.as well making the shed look torn up or blood at the door where she maybe could have pounded for hours, when violet was locked in there. Finding the tools later, now answers the question of where they were. And now the interior tells the story of what happened, without walls of unnecessary …
I felt like playing something short, I really liked the art style, the story pretty simple, I felt it definitely could’ve been longer but it’s okay.
Fun short kinda creepy game, I'd say well made with beautiful art :3
Very cute and twisted game. Even though it is short, I enjoyed the experience of exploring her mind and her world.
