i love this game not gonna lie, i was ready for jump scares but turns out there's none. But i'm still scared of red doors, never trust red doors in the end of a hallway, but overall, this is a very good game. A psychological one :D
This game is just too good to be free lol. The art work, the music, the plot. This game is just soo good. Really really enjoyed this game that i ended up doing all 3 ending. You did an amazing job developer. Thumbs up from me.
Going down as one my favorites from itch. Your art style is absolutely phenomenal. It's a literal masterpiece and I loved it very much. I look forward to more from you.
It's really good for a short horror/thriller game. It's not exactly the type of game to have a bunch of jumpscares or you'll end up screaming at, but it's the type of game where you know something bad is about to happen.
Hey! I included your game in my latest Itch.io Horror Games video! The part with your game starts around 7:08! Hope you enjoy the video if you decide to check it out! Cheers!
Soon I will upload ending 2 and 3 as well I must say the game is actually pretty good it really surprised me I am looking forward for more games from you
Absolutely amazing! Had an awesome experience from start to finish! So twisted, but yet, sweet haha I definitely appreciate the style and how much more work that may be. Can't wait to play more!
This was awesome! I LOVED this game. The hand drawn graphics were so gorgeous and the story line was so so fascinating! Awesome game 10/10 highly recommend!
The game start at 15:11. THIS IS FASCINATING!!! I actually super really love the game!!! Even though I only get one ending, I understand what the stories is. good game and can't wait for your next project!!!
I really liked this game. The art style is amazing and it's very creative in the way it tells its story. So much about the presentation elevated it above the normal indie horror games I've played. I particularly liked the disjointed piano keys that signified each character's "voices". It's the perfect mix of being kind of jovial and silly but also creepy and unsettling.
I felt quite bad for you since Mark only played one ending (and not even ending 1) and then abandoned it without even seeing half of the game. Especially since you clearly intended someone to play all 3 endings. I was quite surprised by how much additional work and content went into the last one and there was clearly a lot of care put into the experience as a whole.
But because I genuinely like it so much and see a lot of potential in your game development I also have some (hopefully) constructive criticisms I've gathered while playing through it.
The first, is the reason I suspect Mark didn't play to see all the endings. I think having the player wait during every single playthrough when they're supposed to play it at least three times can get pretty tedious. Some way to skip these waiting sequences (the one with mom and the one with grandma) after the first playthrough would've greatly increased the experience and would also actually encourage someone to see all the endings.
The second point is going to sound a bit mean but I think it would be a good idea to have someone proofread your text. There were a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes that can make it difficult to read quickly and (in my opinion) just generally weigh down an otherwise great presentation.
Lastly, I've encountered a few bugs as well. There's obviously the softlock Mark found (which probably also contributed to him not finishing the game) but there is also a wall in grandma's room that you can walk through so you fall down the map and have to restart again. While being more minor than the other two, the text sometimes disappearing mid-sentence is another one of those problems that would really make the game feel more polished and improve the player experience if fixed.
But I really don't want these (relatively minor) criticisms to overshadow how much I enjoyed this. Many indie horror games have such problems but I truly believe that this is a lot more special than your average jumpscare fest.
Like I said, I loved the presentation of it and I hope you put all of this creative energy you clearly have into other amazing projects in the future. :)
This was a really well put together game and there's a lot more to it than I originally thought. I really enjoyed this game and the cryptic story it tells. Great art, great story, Great game! Would recommend!
I wasn't expecting this game to be... So good!! I thought it would be a simple little game but it was so much more! The endings and the dialogues, it really added a lot of depth and layer to the game and made it fantastic!
A lot of work was put into the game and it really shows! Like interacting with a lot of things gives the player more context and adds to the story as a whole, and interacting also hints at the chest being something more if the player puts things together earlier (Cannot understate at how the subtle nudge at the chest connecting to the grandmother was a really good plot twist to the story, it was super well done!)
Not sure if the look of the game was inspired by My Beautiful Paper Smile, but it had that vibe and really made things seem creepy and elevated the tone of the game. The way some colours were more highlighted because everything else was prominently black and white, and how haggard the grandmother looked compared to the mother because of the darkness and also the jagged outlines in the drawings; it really was a well presented game!
The story too was pretty interesting and compelling. The way it branches off when the player does different thing was a fun rabbit hole to go down and the way everything adds to the story as a whole was super neat!
Overall the game was fun and super great to play and experience! Great job on it and hope your next project goes well too!

killing the mother was the saddest shit ever, but the rest is pretty cool no lie!
Played this on my /actual/ birthday and was a surreal experience, interesting dynamic and artistically wonderful piece :)
Short but not bad at all. Definitely liked the artstyle the game had. Didn't do all the ending though. Made a video on it.
i was thinking there was a secret ending but I was wrong lol
Great work!
is there s secret fourth ending????
After playing this game I have gone to hug my cats ! Really nice!
im not sure what i was expecting the 3rd ending to be but it wasn't this lol
I really like the Game! The athmosphere is crazy good!
On a sidenote; in Grandmaws room, the front wall (where the door is) is walkthrough. You can fall off the map there and get stuck in the nothing :D
The art style, interactions, and secrets in this game are amazing. I can't believe how much fun it was.
The game start at 15:11. THIS IS FASCINATING!!! I actually super really love the game!!! Even though I only get one ending, I understand what the stories is. good game and can't wait for your next project!!!
Love from Malaysia.
I got all 3 endings even though I felt like a monster for killing the cats though 😅
I really loved the art!

I'm surprised I did the "good ending" (3 of 3) first try! great style and atmosphere!
My brain has made a dumb joke ending idea where you just cut the cake.
The art style was incredible. I really loved this game. And I got all three endings! Beautiful. Love love loved it! More, please!
Found a bug.. when in grandmaws room, if you hug the walls in the darkness you fall out of the map and have to close the game to restart
an awsome Game I absolutely loved it and got all 3 endings ;) the art style was absolutely beautiful
Adorei o game e fiz uma gameplay com 2 finais, recomendo muito
parabéns aos desenvolvedores por um ótimo trabalho!
o jogo foi bem divertido, e bem assustador em umas partes, um jogo bem legal além de ser lindo, recomendo muito
