Definitely would have been better if you could interact with stuff. Sweet little game though.

I enjoyed it, it was pretty glitchy and ended rather abruptly, though. I'm a little confused because the screenshots show more of a horror element and I really didn't get any horror. Are there more endings? I didn't really feel like anything had options to it unless it was just because I didn't check out all the buildings. Nothing scary really happened and I even checked out the church like the uncle said and nothing happened. Additionally, I'm not too sure if a 'horror' tag really suits this game.
Suggestions:
- The walking speed got really annoying really quickly. Could be faster or at least have the option to sprint.
- Wish I could close text by clicking or something. Being stuck standing there until the text disappeared was pretty painful at times.
- Bug fixes. Things kept glitching into the floor and if I looked around at a certain angle the floor would disappear altogether. Also the birds just hover in the air with no animation or anything, not sure if this was intentional.
- I wish more things in the game were interactable, like if you interacted with the thing under the sheet it might have some sort of internal dialogue to go along with it. That would add a bit more depth.
I'm going to try playing it again to see if I missed something, if I did I'll update this comment below. That was just my first impression of the game. I feel like it has a lot of potential and it started off strong but the ending was a little weak.
EDIT: I replayed it, it seems that the thing I missed was the building behind the general store.
However, there were still too many things left unanswered.
For example, one thing I noticed was it looked like the uncle's house had some sort of basement. Is there any way to get down there? Also, what's under that sheet in the corner? What does the shadow in the church/green building have to do with the Uncle or the main story, and with the uncle listening to crazy conspiracies? How do ghosts tie into all of this? What is that building across the river?
I loved the atmosphere, and I feel like it has a lot of potential, but I think the story could use something extra.
