Fantastic art! Unfortunately, I didn't really like the gameplay. Time passed too quickly and the meters drained too fast in my opinion. I could barely focus on exploring without worrying about needing to run home to sleep. I'd much rather take my time and investigate things like the girl on the train tracks, but when I encountered her, it became dark and my meters were empty, which forced me to run back and miss the event.

However, the intriguing art style and quirky dialogue kept me playing for a good bit!

I've had a crack at your game! Note: Due to the pixel style graphics, this game has been played with a CRT filter.

First off, the atmosphere is great. I was floored when I first heard the voice acting! I mean, voice acting in a jam game is rare. The graphics and muted colors added to the creepy feeling.

Unfortunately, I got stuck at the computer right after passing the rat-minigame. I've encountered a nasty bug: The scratch paper you receive is consumable, which forced me to reload. I can't for the life of me figure out what Elias' favorite snacks are, and Rhett never mentions the name of Elias' favorite author, even after interacting with the book in Rhett's bedroom. After a bit of brute-forced trial and error, I gave up. It's a real shame, as I wanted to continue pretty badly!
