Played this with a friend in VC, caught my eye because of the strong screenshot compositions even in minimalist grayscale. We got so engrossed that we immediately 100%'d the entire game, and our playthrough took 4x the recommended length due to dissecting almost every single line of dialogue and narration.
The worldbuilding here is some of the best I have seen in an incredibly long time, and I am withholding a lot of specific praise out of fear of spoilers, but I am utterly fascinated and dying to learn more.
We audibly groaned at the end of each scene from desperately wanting more content and answers, then eagerly played through more branches. This is a serious achievement in minimalism, horror, dark fantasy, rich environmental storytelling, complex characterization, and this is only for an in-development demo. I hope to see some updates from the creator, this is a project well worth taking the time on and VERY well worth playing.
Recommending to every horror fan I know, 5/5, I hope to see more soon!! I want to know more!!!
