I love this demo so much! The art style is amazing and really complimented the atmosphere of the game. The beginning section of the game very much reminded me of the Spirited Away style, I don't know if there was some inspiration drawn from there , but it was wonderful. I adored all of the characters introduced in this demo, each of them so strange and unique with their own distinctive personalities, it was truly delightful. I'm extremely excited for the release of the full game, I can't wait to see what this afterlife has to offer <3

I had a lot of fun with this game. I really love the art style, character designs are really cool and I think it's fun getting to name the suspects. I had a great time trying to figure out what voices to give each character. 

The cases were quite jarring, which definitely helped ground the theme of the game into an unsettling territory, the contrast between the names you'd give - often light-hearted and silly - and the details of the crimes - quite violent and serious - offered up such a bizarrely uncomfy atmosphere. 

A very enjoyable experience, well done dev :D

I loved this demo so much! Truly a wonderfully immersive experience, brimming with intrigue and unease. The art style, the story, the characters, the extreme attention to detail, everything about this game kept me fully invested. I really must commend the pure love and dedication that has clearly been poured into every aspect of this game. I'm so excited to delve deeper into this world when the full game is released; very much a unique treasure to experience <3

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it was really fun to record :) 

No worries about the accuracy meter, although it is nice knowing I wasn't picking the wrong options. 

I really like the mechanic of the Joke Generator automatically providing a terrible joke if you don't check the personal drives, it gives a cool impression that the machine understands you're not trying and out of principle it will do a bad job regardless of the accuracy of your guesses. 

Whilst I'm sad to learn there are no plans as of yet to develop more from this world, I understand and respect that, and I will definitely be looking into more of your games (past and future) off the back of this experience <3

Really loved this game, it's a shame it's as short as it is. I'd absolutely love to see an extended version of this that delves deeper into this strange world. Great work! :D

Admin is one of the very first games I did a video of on my channel when I first started, and it has baffled me that - over two years - it has been the most consistently viewed video I have, quietly and steadily increasing in views as time goes by. It truly was a joy to play and I think it's awesome that you're planning to expand the game into something more. Can't wait to experience it! :D

Really loved this game. From art style to story, this was a bizarrely fun experience :D

Really loved this experience. The art style was beautiful; my heart is always stolen by hand-drawn art <3

This is an amazing demo! I had such a great time playing this; I got so engrossed into the game flow that I played for a lot longer than I had originally planned. I'm extremely excited to see where the full game leads; eager to learn more about the world that has been created here. Great job! :D 

I loved this game so much! The art style is amazing and the story - although short - is rich with characters bursting with personality. I look forward to seeing more projects in this style; even an expanded version of this game would be great, I'm so curious about the world these adorable characters live in :D

Just saw the news about the private funding. It saddens me you didn't manage to get it, but I'm glad you're still striving to release the full game. I cannot wait to experience it! I played the demo on Steam so that I could leave a review there as well, and I've just posted a video to try and help get the word out. I know it's not much, but I hope this helps get you the recognition you deserve. I look forward to experiencing your masterpiece when it releases <3

I absolutely adored this game, such an intriguing narrative that takes you on a wild spin. I would love to see a continuation of this story; I have grown attached to the characters and wish to see more of their journey. Well done on such an amazing game :D

This is an amazing game! The story you live through as you experience this game is deeply tragic and disturbing; the further I got into the story, the more I began to question where the true horror really lies. The emotional strings pulled in this game are cruel in a very well done way, and the pacing of the story felt right. I really did enjoy this game, and I look forward to anything you may be working on for future projects :)

I very much look forward to experiencing whatever it is you have planned for this game; I can't wait <3

This is such a gorgeous game; the art style, the lighting, the sound design, everything makes the atmosphere so rich and entrancing, which manages to add to the unsettling and tense experience as you play through this demo. I tip my hat to you, Apophenia 23, well done on creating such a stunning piece of art! I simply cannot wait to experience the full game when it releases :D

I adore the aesthetic of this game, the characters are all so uniquely designed and diverse in their personalities. I'm not put off by worms or bugs (except for spiders; I'm a huge arachnophobe), but the paranoia 'Womb of Worms' instilled within me is a testament to the skill and passion that has gone into the game. Well done, Horse Hoof Games, I can't wait for the full release! :D

That's awesome! So glad you're going to keep developing games; I really look forward to experiencing whatever it is you decide to create next :D

sessena, once again you have delivered a wonderfully enjoyable experience in the form of your final project for the htk Academy; beautiful colour palette, a cheerful atmosphere, charming character designs and an intriguing world steeped in lore that I want to know more about. As far as final projects go, this is most definitely a win in my eyes. Truly, a splendid game, may you continue to create and flourish <3

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the playthroughs; your games are always such a joy to play! I've just seen that you've published a new one and I look forward to playing it; based on the images it already looks really good, once again the art style is something I very much look forward to admiring. I do hope your finals are going well, wishing you the best of luck :)

Another beautiful game! Short and sweet, and left me wanting more. The plot was intriguing, steeped in mystery and ethereal beauty, I'd love to know more about the character's motivation and the village they speak of. The puzzles were intuitive and integrated naturally into the world very well, which allowed me to stay fully immersed in the serene atmosphere. Truly loved this, thank you once again for creating such enjoyable experiences :D

There is something profoundly nostalgic about this game, both the graphics and the soundtrack brought a comforting atmosphere, and the voice acting coupled with a nice variety of diverse characters added to the charm of the world in which we explore. I adore Chev and hope beyond hope that his life will take a positive turn so that he may experience happiness and contentment. Bravo to Studio Laaya, a truly wonderful short game you have bestowed unto the world, keep up the amazing work :)

This was such an amazing demo! Everything this demo had to offer was beyond great, and I look forward to experiencing the full game when it is released :D

The second game of yours I've played, and I adore it just as much as I did Avalon. From the wonderous artwork, to the calming music, to the topic itself, Postmaster Frog was a delight to play. Your ability to develop games that feel like an emotional support blanket is truly amazing. I have uploaded a video on this joyful game on YouTube, if you feel any inclination to watch; regardless, you should know that your work provides a true sense of comfort and enjoyment :)

That's amazing to hear! Can't wait to see more from this world. I've checked the page for Wolfsong and have added it to my 'Interested in Playing' collection. It looks very beautiful and I look forward to playing it :)

I did a video on Avalon if you'd like to experience my complete adoration for your game; it really was a joy to play x

This was such a good demo! I really enjoyed the feeling of it; the atmosphere was a strange mixture of dread and pleasant. I like how each character you serve, whilst only being present for a moment, seems to have their own stories and individuality.

Keep up the good work! :D

As short as it is, this game is truly delightful. The atmosphere and aesthetic are so comfy and warm, playing this game felt like being engulfed in a tranquil hug. Each character felt full with their own personalities and were a joy to interact with. I do hope that there may be more of this little universe in store for the future, as I would love to see a growing narrative to this storyline, however, if not; I simply say well done and thank you, for creating such an endearing short experience. Keep up the good work :)
