Although the story is quite interesting while the endings and Vianna storyline are disappointing. I was also hoping for more CG's. Give it a time and be ready for Clock riddle...3 found this helpful
A SAD BUT BEAUTIFUL STORY ALTHOUGH SOME PARTS OF IT FEEL MISSING I REALLY ENJOYED IT :)2 found this helpful
The puzzle mechanics towards the end were a little confusing for me, ended up looking at a guide to get through that section but otherwise it was a very lovely game and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It doesn't feel like a super in your face horror game and it hits you with tension at the perfect times, also managed to jumpscare me a few times but it's not happening constantly either. Would definitely recommend picking it up on sale or at full price, it's entirely worth it imo.2 found this helpful

What begins as a search for answers soon evolves into a haunting journey through forgotten memories and long-buried secrets.

Rather than relying on elaborate visuals or large-scale environments, the developers focus on atmosphere and mood. Dimly lit corridors, neglected rooms, and eerie silence create a feeling of isolation that remains effective throughout the adventure. Every location appears to hold a fragment of a larger story, and the environment itself often communicates as much as the dialogue. This careful attention to atmosphere allows the game …2 found this helpful
I really enjoyed this RPG horror game! The art is absolutely beautiful, I can tell a lot of love went into the character and environment design. The story itself was interesting, though the ending seemed a bit abrupt, and the puzzles were unique but challenging at times. Overall, I think this was worth playing and I would love to see more from the developers!!2 found this helpful
