I think one of the best things about this game is that all components of the game, be it voice acting, art style, writing and music were able to carry the whole unnerving atmosphere of the game, nothing felt out of place and the deliberate choices that you all made were definitely the right choices (like the whole name thing).
Thank you for this fun experience!

(Johanna scared me so bad the first time I heard her and saw her sprite change :'> took me a while to realise she's a sweet friend and not foe)
