Disgustingly in-depth and genuinely chilling. I'm not often phased by horror, but this one made its way deep under my skin. If you're in any way squeamish or sensitive to depictions of child-abuse, then I'd pass up Pumpkin Eater. A strong, one-of-a-kind, grotesque tragedy.3 found this helpful
Disturbing and tragic but well written story of a family. Nice game because it's scientifically accurate. I've learnt a lot about body decomposition too. I wouldn't recommend it to sensitive people tho.1 found this helpful
Disturbing and tragic. The scientifically correct stages of decomposition shown through the story and explained at the end were very neat. Absolutely recommend!1 found this helpful
nice story plus the fact there was also a glossary included is great1 found this helpful
this reminded me why I like reading
for the average person, I wouldn't recommend it- it felt very low effort for a paid game while also being very short(around 30 minutes). I wasn't expecting too much given how challenging it can be to make a lot of art for a game in this style, but there were maybe two or three sets and four characters, each of which had slight shifts in expression(except for one, which was cool). This game functions great as a method of education and explaining how bodily decay occurs but again it just isn't very scary or even all that unsettling. The dialogue is not bad but nothing that after reading had me wanting to play more. I paid a dollar for it and I don't regret my purchase but I feel that others may
