A unique experience. Play this in the dark with no one at home around midnight then go to sleep to think about it. Good stuff.

What a roller coaster of emotions! This game builds on the story of "The Moon Sliver" while also showcasing the struggles of a teenager who is haunted by a vengeful ghost from her past that controls her body. A uniquely absurd execution that enhances the strange ideas of David, making this game a one of a kind. If you're a fan of The Moon Sliver you should definitely play this beautiful game.

A great experience by David Szymanski! I'd recommend playing this once, as it took ~1 1/2h to complete just exploring everywhere and enjoying the dialogue. Well worth the experience

I liked this one a good bit. A neat short story with some cool exploration. I really like how he did the art for this one. Very freaky.
