A wonderfully creepy and ambiguous short game with a clever and unusual setting. It took me a little while to find all the endings.

Developer

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! Well done on getting all the endings :D

The first two endings clued the third nicely. Well, for me. I'd say more, but I wouldn't want to spoil the enjoyment of others finding the third ending.

Once I did, I looked at the cover art again and realized why it was as it was.

The upside-down text trick (weird Unicode characters) has gotten old and new again several times, but I think it works well here!

Thanks so much for playing, it's really good to hear your thoughts! In fact the upside down text here is regular characters transformed with css!

I got two endings. Will try for a third. Good game!

Developer

Thank you very much, and good luck!

An elegantly constructed, super creepy tale. I like how the final choice is presented by implication rather than by putting two options right in front of the player.

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you like it!

This is a nice little game, especially for something created in under 4 hours. Motivated me enough to keep trying for the 3rd ending :)

Awesome, thank you! Glad to hear you got that third ending :D

Creepily weird and fun! I couldn’t figure out the third ending, but am pretty sure I’m just missing something obvious. The bright green on white bg is probably not legible to some folks, so you might consider changing to a darker color in the surface world for accessibility reasons. Otherwise, no complains from me!

Thanks Stewart! Appreciate the feedback. Two out of three endings is still pretty good! :P
