Fun little RPG Maker horror game with a few spooks that pop up every now and then. Highly recommend it. Also the main protagonist girl is cute so there's a bonus for you.

Great experience. The ambience, music and sound effects were on point. I didn't get scared but It was a pretty tense experience and an amazing story!

Pretty good, only downside is there are too many chase scenes but the story is interesting and there is a good plot twist

Honestly I got really scared playing this game at night without the corridor lights being on. Well if you wanna play it. Go ahead. Just remember that the door with the broken doorknob can be open if forced,

I wasn't expecting much when I went into this game, considering I've never heard of it, but I think this is the best RPGmaker horror game I've ever played (or at the very least one of the best ones), and I've played a lot of them. The atmosphere is very unsettling; the grimy look of the mansion reminds me of Fear & Hunger Termina, and the surrealness of the dream sequences reminds me of Black Space from OMORI (the game, however, is fortunately a lot shorter than OMORI). The game has a very intriguing story, an unique and very creative save mechanic, puzzles that are challenging without being frustrating (though I did get lost around the mansion a lot), well done jumpscares, and... Lots of action-packed chase sequences... Which was bad for my heart but it is a horror game so I can't really complain. The art is also absolutely gorgeous. 10/10 game, worth every cent (and more, since it's actually very cheap). (I also think it'd be cool if it had more achievements, considering the various missable events, but that part's not really about the game itself so it doesn't really matter lol)
