Played TWFTW yesterday at night and actually jumped once or twice(not ashamed of it). Horror RPG are almost never really scary, but you merged mysterious occult evil with trivial crime, that made the story soo dark (in a good way).
Oh! It's just there to imply that there's more forest beyond that village, but you never need to explore that part in the game, if that makes sense! Kind of like how you can't go upstairs in TWSTM, but they're there to show there was more of the house the family used to live in. Don't worry about it! Also, congrats on finishing all three games :D I know that last one had a couple brutal sections. And you're just in time, the fourth one will be out in a few days!
You don't have to feel guilty, and even free things like the ratings you gave me help a lot so my games can get seen! That said, I do really appreciate the financial support as well and I'm honored you'd choose me in such a large sea of developers XD I know what you mean though, it is pretty daunting but also exciting. I was actually inspired to make games after playing a bunch of awesome rpg maker games from others developers!
