Thoughtful, chilling, unique — I was completely engrossed in the
story and loved feeling my skin crawl as the writing changed. The
story's restraint is what drew me in further, and when things ramp up that restraint really pays off.
The backgrounds were also a highlight; your use of photobashing helped create the game's foreboding atmosphere while still letting the player fill in the gaps. The music was an absolute highlight, I was floored by how the tracks' instrumentation mirrored the story's tone so neatly.
An absolute gem. You should be proud as hell for this.
