The twists and turns are a little obvious. Good art style and funny dialogue. Definitely recommended if you like some cheesy macabre horror that is somehow cute. Shout out to all the single furries.

3/5

Adventure
Added Sep 27, 2022 by Rook

I have never been more scared of a dark stairway leading into a basement, and that's REALLY saying something. This is what houses feel like before they get bought by a house flipper and dismembered from the inside. The carpet is replaced with cheap laminate flooring and the soul is replaced with capital... or flesh?

5/5

It's like Zootopia in 15 minutes, but in RPG Maker.

Actually, it's better. Zootopia didn't have wolf girls.

Cat was cute. The equivalent of a "S A D G I R L S" playlist on Spotify.

Source code was interesting to look through. Maximum collateral damage wasn't very easy to achieve. Maybe a little too self aware for its own good. Reminds me of the time I came out to my dad.

Very nice short horror game. A little "cheesy" with it's Japanese horror references, but still thoroughly unnerving. Looking up at the dark skyline made me reconsider the scope of my small, small world.

Simulation

Strong premise and execution. Reminds me of the imaginary friend I grew up with and promptly discarded when I turned 12. He's still around, of course, inside of my computer.

Unique experience, didn't go the direction that I expected and looks nice. It's got mild body horror and you love to see it.

Solidly relatable to those with anxiety problems but not outright depressing.

Cool, but a bit confusing. Progression isn't conveyed well. The art direction is the strongest part of the game.

Interesting experiment, has potential to be expanded upon. Recreates the feeling of going on a night jog and seeing figures in the trees.

Visual Novel

The art is nice. It reminded me of my ex, but let's not focus on that. It's a little too short for the story to be impactful. The music has drilled into my mind and won't leave. That piano """melody""" will forever be engraved onto the deepest recesses of my mind. I want to pull an Akano on the composer of this VN.

Adventure

Own it on Steam. Very good game, well paced, and interesting. The non-linear storytelling is pretty cool. Worth at least 1-2 playthroughs, but watch out for the part where the Slenderman attacks you in your attempts to collect the 7 pages.

5/5

Visual Novel

A very immersive visual novel. The music cues are well executed, the visuals are solid, and the story was definitely interesting. It's short and worth your time. I appreciate that so much is left to the imagination of the reader.

5/5

Survival
Added Sep 27, 2022 by Rook

The atmosphere was interesting, but it doesn't even attempt to convey its goals to the player. There appeared to be progression because I found a key but... I didn't find what it opened. 

Bonus star for the cum ocean.

3/5

Shooter
Added Sep 27, 2022 by Rook

It looks great, but it's a bit confusing and the atmosphere falls apart when the guns and combat really come into play. I barely remember anything about this game a few months later.

This captures the essence of the early, spooky days of Minecraft where Herobrine could be around every corner. To put it another way: not very spooky at all.

Bizarre and impactful, left me feeling like it meant something important but I don't know what. Strangely emotional despite its length.

5/5
