Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and encouraging comment, that means a lot to me! I’m glad you like most of the elements-especially the artstyle, I used to draw comics before I started making games so it’s really close to my heart! As far as the story length, I was making this game for a game jam and one of the rules was it had to be around 20 minutes. But I think that’s a great idea, and maybe some day I’ll add an update for a potential good ending! (Another highly requested feature is letting the players explore upstairs.)

And great job!!! I’m really impressed that you found the secret on your own, that takes so much dedication! When I built it into the game I was wondering if anyone would even be able to find it at all <XD And good idea on the items too, I should add that! Maybe the bad apples can poison you or something…

I’m honored that it’s one of your favorite horror games, and so happy Manly was able to introduce you to it! I loved his playthrough videos so much. Once again, huge thanks for your kind comment, I loved hearing your detailed thoughts and you gave me some good ideas!

You're very much welcome! Thank you too for taking time out of your day to respond to every comment here, including my own, it's very heartwarming.

I see! I didn't know it was part of the game jam, that would make a lot of sense with time constraints.

And if you do add a potential good ending, dare I suggest that it would be better to make a "remake" of sorts, instead of updating this game? With more interactions/dialogue options and upstairs location and the multiple endings themselves.

Haha, obviously that's just a bold suggestion knowing how much work that would take. That being said I'd love to see any expansion someday! So I'll wait patiently whether it comes to life or not.

Thank you, well to be honest it just took some keen observation from myself and the willingness to interact with everything available (as intended).

Regarding the apples, yeah I was surprised they're non interactable and just an item in your inventory, so I do hope you add this feature someday! No pressure though.

Thank you too for responding and making the game! I'm glad I was able to inspire you in some way! I really do have a lot to say about the game.

Great idea, a remake would be awesome! I’ll give it some consideration. And thanks again, I appreciate the attention to detail that went into your playthrough! I make games because I want to share these stories so it means a lot when people care about the world enough to look at everything. And haha yeah, time to make the apples a bigger threat XD It’s funny in a game that otherwise has no deaths that the apples of all things could hurt the player but like… it’ll be totally worth it! (Maybe I should add more hazards too.)

You’re very welcome, it was my pleasure reading through your thoughtful comments! Feel free to message me on Twitter or join my discord if you want; I’d love to have you!
