Real special little surreal game here.  The sprite portraits are charming, the world-building has an excellent subtle flavor, and the voice work is especially professional. The tense atmosphere is maintained by some pretty common tricks (sudden noises that are just there to make you flinch rather than actually warning you of incoming danger, tame visual jumpscares, warped music), but it's effective without feeling hammy. Very happy I stumbled upon this!

Judging by the title screen stating this is version 0.75 and the fact there are optional areas to explore, I assume multiple endings are intended, but none seem to be present in this version. It's a bit of a shame, since I went far out of my way to try to get a different result, but nothing changes. Crossing my fingers this game receives an update, because there is SO MUCH potential here for some awesome branching paths.

Also, I feel it's worth mentioning for anyone sensitive to imagery/mentions of suicide: there's a sudden and potentially shocking development related to that subject. I personally don't have that sensitivity, but I DID almost share this game with someone who experienced a traumatic suicide in their immediate family –that tidbit would have absolutely ruined their day.

EDIT: If the warning about themes of suicide was there before, I'm so sorry I missed it, but if it's new, thank you so much for adding it! :)
