I downloaded this on a whim and its a really great little game to pass a bit of time. Clearly made by a small developer and even said as such in the credits. Its pretty great to be able to see someones start in the game industry and this is just a great wee title. Its certainly no AAA title but its got some fun stuff in it and I was a fan of the puzzle and the monster mechanics as well. It also feels very folklore driven which adds to its rural and rustic charm. Looking forward to see if this dev puts out anymore.

Fun wee horror game based on some local folklore which is nice to see for me. Definitely has some challenges to it, like the monster itself being an absolute wee fiend. Would recommend for a simple game to pass a few hours.
