The atmosphere on this game is phenomenal! The eeriness of it made it really unsettling to play, and the narrative and the art matched up perfectly. A really intriguing game!

This game is brilliant!. I liked the graphics and their old VGA style vibe. Kudos for it!

Woah, what an atmospheric and eerie game! Such an interesting experience

This is such a wonderful, creative, and unique game. The art style and atmosphere you created are phenomenal.

I especially love the unusual layout with the smaller viewing window surrounded by a frame. It reminded me a bit of the old adventure game Dark Seed, which also had a creepy art style and large frame around the game window. There's something alienating about it - but I mean that in a good way. It really enhances the feeling that what you're seeing is something that exists outside the realm of your ordinary experience.

Wow, this game was strange. Strange in a good way! :) I didn't know what I was doing most of the time, but somehow I made it through with my collection of limbs. Interesting Art Style. I like how you made the sounds of talking :) Very Good job!

The graphics totally make this stand out a lot! Combined with the sound and the animated text and everything, it's so stylish and atmospheric.

Oh wow this is so beautiful. Love the art and the animation and the music and the story. (only got 1 ending so far, but will play again!)

This has such a wonderful creepy atmosphere to it. I adore the grainy, monster-movie art style, and the music goes great with it. Every other element just reinforces this too - from the weird unsettling abstract effects (OMG!) to the eerie vocalisations. It’s really left an impact on me. I think my favourite thing though might be how the end (at least one of them) ties right in to the beginning. It’s a neat story!

I can only apologise haha (Salad fingers is very much early 2000s school humour...)

I also reached the two endings. Such a special game. Does having a heart make us stronger or weaker?

It's definitely a soulful game.
