Took me about 73 minutes to finish the game (Without reading out loud or recording a gameplay) I really love the music in the game, it really set up the mood of the story and watching everything unfold was nicely paced in my opinion. I highly recommend it if you want a dark/horror visual to play in less than 2 hours. (and it didnt have any jumpscares, so that was more easy for me to handle.) I also enjoyed the artstyle of the game. It's not often that I see watercolors being used in games.

a good game if you have nothing else to play. i found the text and dialogue pretty simple and straight forward which made the story less disturbing for me. the art was okay, imo it fit the plot and vibes of the game. the glossary and timeline with information about decomposition were a nice addition but overall the story was kinda weak

Disgustingly in-depth and genuinely chilling. I'm not often phased by horror, but this one made its way deep under my skin. If you're in any way squeamish or sensitive to depictions of child-abuse, then I'd pass up Pumpkin Eater. A strong, one-of-a-kind, grotesque tragedy.

Disturbing and tragic but well written story of a family. Nice game because it's scientifically accurate. I've learnt a lot about body decomposition too. I wouldn't recommend it to sensitive people tho.
