It was interesting, but a little too repetitive for me, also didn't like the ending, but still! not a bad game
Made a video
I really love the visuals and music, it's quite an unsettling game. I like that the environment changes each time you go through.
At first I didn't think it was really a *scary* game, just unsettling, but right as I reached that conclusion, you threw a jumpscare at me! I like how it caught me right when I stopped expecting it. Although the ones after that got much less impactful.
After playing your other game Carcass, I was half expecting the corpses to get up and move, which I think added to the tension a bit.
The controls could use some adjustment, I feel like they're a bit oversensitive and I unfortunately missed what happened at the last second because I had accidentally looked too far to the side.
5.6/10 - Stylistic but lacks many important aspects, (15-20 mins), I really appreciate the style and vibe of the game even if it wasn't that scary or creepy to me. The story is interesting (I didn't fully understand it but got a gist of it). The walking mechanic would be great if there was something chasing you however walking around feels like driving a car on ice. The game is severely repetitive due to how you progress in the story, it would've been more interesting if the environment changed more as even the end scene felt refreshing after slogging my way through the house. The song replaying throughout the game started to become annoying due to it being just a short melody replayed over and over. There is much potential but there's important aspects of the game that need to be worked on. I appreciate you making games and I wanted to give you this from a point of a critic. I'm looking forward to future projects!
I recorded a video on this but the file got corrupted :(
This scared me quite a lot lol, great job on this!
I really like this game! I love Ethel Cain so the title gained my attention right away. I loved the progression of the game and the horror factor of it. You did a great job and I hope to see more work from you!
thanks so much! ethel cain was a big inspiration of course.
I like the graphics very much and I actually would like to learn how did you handle it using Unity. But, gameplay wise, doing same thing over and over again with almost no change in the environment gets boring very quickly.
Nice very good game I like it and the game style very good and well made well done keep it up!
Really fun game, visually different than a lot of games and really smooth to play with the right vibe of eerie going on. I probably failed getting all the story but the tension and the scares were all still there!
Good, tapi pas ngebaca bukunya rada bingung sih oleh putus-putus.
Really enjoyed checking it out! Love the art style! I do think the art style/presentation held things up a lot more than anything else, which isn't bad, but that's just what really stuck with me above all else. 🤔 Either way though, very cool 5 day project. 👍
Interesting game and use of the art style. The game had some nice creep factor in it and it kept me on my toes. Keep it up.

Good game
Genuinely lovely to look at. Loved the style and atmosphere.
A really cool visual style paired with some good writing! I really enjoyed this :3
Short but truly a great spooky game. I increased the audio of game to enhance spookiness of the soundtrack in your game
Great game. Love the visuals and plot.
Creepy and stylish.
