Just another good visual novel horror game from CatTrigger. CatTrigger's games always tend to be a treat and this one is no exception. The story is also quite enticing and it's a great psychological horror title, I highly recommend it.

I liked most of this but the actual “real life” plot was both too depressing and kind of badly written, a little too comical in how absurdly evil the dad was? Like, interesting idea that wasn’t done as well as it could have been IMO.

I wanted to start out by saying this game is genuinely so heartbreaking, and I appreciate that. The content warnings, the care put into them and making sure people are safe means a lot to me. I've been through and seen a lot in my life, including abuse in all forms. This game captures that child like coping that I think a lot of people relate to unfortunately. The coping to pray that things will be okay, that some random character will save them. This is so beautifully written, and shown, that it carefully and throughohly (sorry for spelling it's 1 am) handled these situations well. As someone who has witnessed these situations (abuse,domestic violence, yelling, hitting etc) this game is a very real and very sad example of what happens, I love you guys for making this game. I played many games that remind me of my past, and they cover it in ways that left me scared. But this game just filled in that vent void I had in my heart for awhile. Thank you for making such a breath taking game. Ive been going through a lot, and this game while it made me cry, is one that I appreciate so very much. Thank you.

CW: [spoiler]Confinement, child abuse, domestic abuse and violence, gun violence[/spoiler] An unexpectedly dark game, Storm the Swan is about helping a group of friendly animals have a picnic in the forest and avoid meeting the [i[monster of the woods[/i]. I loved the art style - it reminded me of some cartoons I liked as a teenager and the switch between reality and the game was spooky and built the atmosphere so well. I thought the story was tragic anditdid blindside me, especially seeing it frim the perspective of a child. A great free game and worth your time.
