This gave me such a nice time.

I didn't know what to expect, so I went through it with all my curiosity, looking at rather everything first before whatever I should be doing. But with a little attention, I started noticing the hints.

I'm usually a person who wants to look at everything first before moving on, to have the bigger picture, but I felt myself being tugged at the next step of the story, rather quickly. I could've discovered the twist earlier if I was attempting to solve the mystery, but I always prefer to just enjoy the ride, so I didn't. And I enjoyed the discovery moment a whole lot.

I recently went through an experience like that, so this felt actually nice. It's an amazing game, thank you so much for letting me play it out. A wholesome haunt indeed ๐Ÿ’™

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your experience <3

The way I stared at a wall with my mouth gaping for like five minutes at the end. Gonna have to replay it now, but wow is this an underrated master piece!

Replay comments: Dude, the way it was so obvious from the beginning but at the same time easy to shrug off in the situations as just being weird descriptions... 

Upon my second playthrough, I am bawling
