In fact, it is so short that I'm afraid that I might go into a spoiler if I try to explain more than the premise. Basically, you play as a mother living in a home with a husband and a son. It seems to take inspiration from old-school families where the man rules the house. The story itself can drive your anger and take a depressing turn right away, although due to the short playtime, I find it hard to resonate with the characters.

Short point&click adventure that highlights some of the most frequent problems in families. It's sad, so be prepared for it. Game is free, so don't hesitate to try.

From the beginning, the hand-painted visuals and carefully chosen music create a mood that immediately draws the player in. The game tells a serious and emotional story that feels personal and sincere, making it easy to connect with the characters and their struggles. The narrative follows Mary, a mother trying to protect her family under difficult circ…

I remember playing this back in January of 2019. I remember I liked the visuals, and I remember I liked the story. But mostly, I remember how much I loved the menu music. Today, November of 2025, over 6 years later, I downloaded this game again. I don't know if I will play it again, but I wanted to listen to the menu theme. And damn, my memory was right, the menu music is a such a vibe. The game is good overall, but the effect this music had on me is memorable.
