A really good example of a well-done earlier "mascot horror" game before things became over saturated. I started playing the game before all chapters were released, so it's been fun to see the game as it evolved graphically and gameplay-wise. A wonderful visual style and neat character designs make a solid template to create more from. My only major complaint is how the save system was broken for the final version of the game, which affects playthroughs where you save, leave, and come back. That hasn't stopped me from plugging 200+ hours into the game through all of its iterations, though! Edit: They fixed the save bug one week after I left my review!! Thank you, JDS!

It might be kinda old. It might be arguably past its prime. And I may just be autistic and this game might be one of my special interests. But this game slaps. This game is a classic for me. One of the prime games of growing up on the weird fandom side of the internet. I love the simplicities AND the complexities of it. It's pattern recognition yet it keeps you guessing. The depth of the storyline had me in a chokehold from the first time I cared to pay attention to it. The character designs are interesting. I love this stupid little indie horror game. 10/10.

This one was fun for the most part, though Chapter 3 got a bit tedious... I loved the art style! It's one of those you probably should play through several times to get all the achievements. I got it on sale, so of course I recommend getting it on sale.
