Super game bro ,
Pixel art is great
Level design is also great
UI is good
Music is fine
Difficulty needs to be optimised, super hard to play
The story and the choices were pretty good and i can see your philosophical knowledge on your dialogs and the manner in which they were differentiated from one another. Those choices really reflected real persons social archetypes and personal philosophies about individuals life, really hit deep and made think about my life for a sec : ) and then the art was good looking too, overall it was great emo experience
Man!!!, the visuals and narration of the game is deep and pleasantly-horrifying. I never played any other visual novels before, so i don't if this is a thing but i would like the game much more if there are few interactable scenes like when he was digging for the casket, i wasn't really able to get the creeping feeling about digging for a casket. So, if you made like a 10 lines of dialogs only saying "dig" , "dig deeper" , then i would have read "dig" for 10 times while pressing "enter" with the expectation of completing the digging process. so each time when i press "enter" i would sink deeper into the MC's emotions
THANKS!!! for playing my game Zach, sorry for the inconvenience. originally, I was suppose to make a cutscene as a tutorial for the painting part but i ran out of time, so the "spacebar to continue" display was a last minute effort and it was only suppose to pop-up when you actually found an weapon, but it is not and then i also forgot to show that you have use your mouse for shading so it was mess at that i guess. Besides I'm really happy that you like the game.
