An intriguing short game with a dense, oppressive dark atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression despite its brief duration

Nice atmosphere, the lengh is just about right to stay fun till the end, If you like psx indie games be sure to try it out. Also has some replayability, not gonna spoil though.

Nice small game. I enjoyed the atmosphere
