A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

Absolutely outstanding atmosphere. The visuals and sound combine in a really special way, and the whole thing is very dreamlike -- I kept thinking that if I'd played Demon's Souls as a child, I might have had nightmares similar to this game. The writing is also good, with a mysterious and somewhat uncanny quality that matches the game world very well. 

My only complaint is that the gameplay sections near the end are not very intuitive, so I was a bit confused and spent more time on those parts than the developer probably intended. I know that the game is surreal and some confusion was intentional, but sometimes it took my mind away from the story/action, and I was just thinking "Is this designed to take a long time or am I missing something?"

But yeah, I loved it. I've played tons of short atmosphere-focused games on itch, and only 1 or 2 are this good (First Winter is one of them). Thanks for making it.
