The game is pretty i like that but like, the story is extremely slow and that kinda ruined it for me. like if it were just a bit fast then i'd rate is a 7/10 (The stories themselves are kinda bland in all honesty)

Also, why is this under the horror genre? This feels less like a horror game and more like a fanfiction of some other thing. I know that might sound dumb but when you play it you'll see what I mean. The only "Horror" aspects are the endings which are not that great.

The only thing this game has going for it is the art and that's it.

2/10

The story doesn't stop being a horror story just because you personally didn't like it, and there are many classic horror stories which are far longer and even more descriptive than Lonely is. Just look at Dracula.

Yeah I know it's supposed to be a horror story but it kind of fails at it. I mean first of all, all three of the stories are exactly the same look at it. first you run away from that emo girl and you get somewhere, then you meet some shady girl, you spend the night somewhere, you do some bonding, then you get killed because reason. This game had lots of potential and one if it's issues is not enough blood for example, the vampire ending, the worst we get is her closing her mouth in on out neck and just that. the story describes her biting us but the image shows otherwise. Another thing the game could do is include a jump scare. not once during the story do I feel fear. Maybe it's because i'm desensitized but I doubt that. Again the game is under the Horror genre. If it wants to be there it needs to make me scared. also I just realized that you're the creator of this game so you should take my advice.

The game looks nice and pretty but that's it. This game was... hard to enjoy to say the least. When I beat it I felt like I wasted an hour of my time.

You messed up your attention span. Jump scares would ruin this. The pacing might seem slow at first, but it makes sense as it's not trying to throw scares at you the whole time. It's building this unnerving atmosphere with the OST and the games graphics style. I saw some other points that I guess could be looked at as not perfect and all that. But your points don't add up in my opinion. I feel like it's just not your type of horror. Go play Five nights at Freddy's if it makes you happy
