This was so well done! I loved the story, and the soundtrack was the perfect match, it really amplified the tense scenes in a great way. I really liked the partial voice acting too, it's like just the right amount to add more depth to these interesting characters. Great job!!

Thank you so much!  I'm really glad that those audio additions helped to elevate the gaming experience!  I had fun composing the soundtrack, and the voice actors that joined the project are all fantastic, so hats off to them for giving those characters more depth, as you say.  Thanks so much for playing!  💜

An incredibly charming, tense adventure! I love the way the narrative leads you to question Alma as she questions herself, and then gradually realize that she's been dismissed and gaslit for far too long as she realizes it herself. 💚Genuinely a lovely, thrilling package!
