This is really really good!

I don't know how to describe what it reminds me of without spoilers so:

----

It's scary not because of what happens, exactly, although that is scary! But also because of the way you learn things -- it's almost the scariest when it doesn't tell you something, so by putting together the pieces, you're realizing something and filling in the gaps. There were a couple of moments that gave me a genuine shiver.

The gameplay and plot reminds me of The Roottrees are Dead crossed with Stephen King's The Outsider (without being derivative or anything!)

really really cool. excited to try this when I get home. 

also really love the textures in the pdf it looks almost like handmade paper it gives it a very tactile feel

really really good. felt this.

Hi! I'm not very good at knowing the etiquette of leaving comments so I hope this is ok, I don't want to spoil anything for other people.

Since I came here from seeing the Gender Constellation Bundle 2024 I was thinking of this in terms of my transition, but I'm also playing it while in a work Zoom meeting that doesn't need my input or attention and so I couldn't help but think of it in terms of my work as well. It was really hitting me profoundly and I played it four times in a row, I tried a maze completing algorithm and I tried the direct route and then I tried going toward the wall blocked paths and then I just went through for the dialogue and to see if I could approach the other figure from another angle. The game was very short but to me very dense in tone and feeling, and I can really relate to trying so many different paths but feeling like I'm ending up back at the same dead end. When I get up from my computer I hope I'll be able to leave this maze, but for now I guess I will be waiting in my dead end too.

(Alternate comment: played it again to find my friend again. if we were trapped in the same dead end would we be friends? or are you just a mirror reflection of me on the wall? is this a dead end for you or a part of a path i can't see?)

Thank you for making this :)
